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 ...
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 south-central Egypt, between 25掳 and 27掳N, 29掳 and 30掳E. Bedrock comprises ...
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 ...
