Wind Abrasion

Japanese: ウィンド・アブレージョン - うぃんどあぶれーじょん
Wind Abrasion

… Landforms caused by wind, like those caused by running water, can be divided into erosive and sedimentary landforms. Wind erosion, or wind erosion, can be divided into wind abrasion and deflation. The former is the denudation process that occurs when sand blown by the wind is blown against the bedrock, while the latter is the detachment process caused by fine unconsolidated material being blown away by the wind, but neither process results in large landforms. …

*Some of the terminology that refers to "wind abrasion" is listed below.
