Univ. of Regina: Eolian Processes and Landforms
slightly lower for sand when impact among grains (saltation and creep) is taken into account the fluid threshold velocities (wind shear) plot as two straight lines that slope down to converge at a minimum threshold velocity for coarse silt and fine sand (i.e. these are the most easily eroded grains) with smaller particle sizes grains tend to cohere when wet and resist erosion larger grains resist
USGS: Eolian Processes
arid environments. Eolian Erosion Wind erodes the Earth's surface by deflation, the removal of loose, fine-grained particles by the turbulent eddy action of the wind, and by abrasion, the wearing down of surfaces by the grinding action and sand blasting of windborne particles. The sand and rock of China's Turpan Depression resemble closely those in the view of the Martian surface shown in "Types of Deserts." The arrow points to shiny black desert varnish on these...
