Chapter 16 Wind driven erosion Wind Erosion deflation desert pavement deflation hollow ventifacts Dunes barchan parabolic transverse longitudinal Loess Wind Erosion deflation ~ this means to blow away Wind Erosion deflation desert pavement~ this is what is left after the small stuff has blown away.This is near Reno, Nevada. Wind Erosion deflation hollow~ the deflation has left a hole.In the Sandhills, we call this a blowout Wind Erosion ventifacts~ rocks smoothed by wind erosion. This one is in Antarctica. Wind Erosion ventifacts~ rocks smoothed by wind erosion. This one is in not. Dunes barchan The open face (slip face) faces away from the wind. The open face (slip face) faces away from the wind. parabolic transverse longitudinal Loess Wind moves sand by a process known as
Saltation c.Emergence Abrasion d.Depression The most common kind of wind erosion is
Migration c.Saltation Abrasion d.Deflation Sand dunes move primarily by
