ch 7.3 landscapes shaped by the wind
DESCRIPTION
CH 7.3 Landscapes Shaped by the Wind. Humid areas can resist wind because the moisture holds the soil together. Desert soils are dry and have less vegetation to hold soil in place. Remember the Dust Bowl?. South Dakota before the Dust Bowl. South Dakota after the Dust Bowl. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

CH 7.3 Landscapes Shaped by the WindHumid areas can resist wind because the moisture holds the soil together.
Desert soils are dry and have less vegetation to hold soil in place.

Deflation = lifting and removal of loose particles such as clay and silt.

Saltation = jumping or skipping along the surface.
The wind moves coarse particles along the surface of a desert by saltation.

Blowout = shallow depressions resulting from deflation.

Desert Pavement = surface layers of course pebbles and cobbles that are too heavy for the wind to move.

Wind Abrasion = when wind blown sand cuts and polishes exposed rock.

Can these be the result of wind erosion?
The wind rarely lifts sand more than a meter above the surface of the land.

Wind Deposits: When more is LOESS.

Loess = windblown silt that blankets a landscape.

DUNES= sand deposited by winds in mounds or ridges.

Dunes occur in places where the wind encounters an obstruction.
This is a rock.
This is the Wind Direction
This is sand.
The sand builds up then slides.
