Landforms of wind erosion develop in the zone of transportation between a sand source and a sink. They may be highly localized, such as ventifacts on a beach or hilltop, or extend over vast areas, as epitomized by the yardang systems of Africa and Asia. The orientation of flutes and ...
This chapter examines the landforms created by wind erosion and deflation. Among the most important of these are wind-fluted terrain (yardangs), closed depressions (pans), inverted relief and coastal sabkhas. Examples are provided from a wide range of Earth's drylands.Goudie, Andrew...
This paper presents results of a study of aeolian erosion at the landscape scale. There have been few such studies in desert geomorphology compared to those focused on individual landforms and on rock surface sculpture. The present study area lies in the southern part of the Libyan Desert in ...

The differing processes that dominate the formation of the distinctive landforms have implications for meso-scale variations in climate that remain unresolved by current modeling efforts. Additionally, the variability of erosional forms within the deposit emphasizes the overall complexity of this extensive ...
3) wind erosion landforms 风蚀地貌1. With global warming and drought enhancement,the geomorphic process of wind erosion landforms becomes one of the main surficial processes in arid and semi-arid areas. 辨析了雅丹、风蚀坑等主要风蚀地貌的概念,雅丹是典型的风蚀正地貌形态,通过回顾雅丹地貌形态与过程的...
