EOLIAN
EQUALS WIND EROSION + WIND
TRANSPORT + WIND DEPOSITION
EROSIONAL CAPACITY OF WIND
ABILITY FOR WIND TO MOVE MATERIALS IS
SMALL COMPARED TO ICE (GLACIERS) &
WATER (RIVERS)
DEFLATION
THE REMOVAL AND LIFTING OF INDIVIDUAL
LOOSE PARTICLES
DESERT PAVEMENT
BLOWOUT DEPRESSIONS
RANGE IN SIZE FROM A FEW FEET DEEP
AND A FEW FEET ACROSS TO 150 FEET
DEEP AND SEVERAL MILES ACROSS
ABRASION
PARTICLES PICKED UP BY WIND CAN RUB
ACROSS SOLID ROCK THEREBY FILING IT
AWAY SIMILAR TO SANDPAPER
WIND TRANSPORTATION
SALTATION - SKIPPING AND BOUNCING
SURFACE CREEP

BARCHAN
TRANSVERSE
PARABOLIC
LONGITUDINAL
STAR
LOESS
DEPOSITS OF WIND BLOWN SOIL
MAY COME FROM DESERT REGIONS SUCH
AS THE GOBI DESERT IN CHINA WHERE
DEPOSITS OF 100-400 FEET OCCUR.
YELLOW RIVER
GLACIAL /PERIGLACIAL REGIONS ALONG
ILLINOIS & MISSISSIPPI RIVERS WITH 300
INCHES DEEP
WHY IS THERE A DESERT HERE?
EASTERN FLANK OF THE SUBTROPICAL
HIGHS
ARID LANDFORMS
PLAYA IS SALT CRUSTS LEFT BY RUNOFF
WATERS THAT EVAPORATE
ALLUVIAL FAN - MOUTH OF CANYON WHERE
WATER EXITS INTO A VALLEY
BAJADA - INDIVIDUAL ALLUVIAL FANS
COALESCE INTO ONE SLOPING SURFACE
PLAYA
ALLUVIAL FAN & BAJADA
