What are wavy features found on some sandstone?
Those are deposition layers influenced by wind or moving water.
What does uluru look like?
it's a mountian thingly that was supposedly make by the wind eroding the sand or whatever it is made of and taking the reast of the thing it is made of away but the wind didn't go to the place the uluru is so its still there i think
What are three landforms that are shaped by weathering and erosion?
Three landforms created by wind erosion and deposition are Dunes, Deflatation Hollows, and Desert Pavement.
How does the amount of wind affect hurricane formation-?
Wind shear is one of the most critical factors in controlling or even destroying hurricane formation, the more wind, the more powerful the hurricane. Conversely, if the wind is blowing in the opposite direction of the hurricane, it can slow it down or destroy it.
How is slate weathered?
You wear away sandstone by years of contact with moving water.
How are arches formed by weathering?
Weathering and erosion. Sandstone formations are brought to the surface by the removal of overlying rock structures by erosion, or by uplift from not-fully-understood tectonic processes. As the sandstone nears the surface, cracks appear in the rock formation from pressure release as the weight of overlying rock is removed by erosion. In arid regions, freeze-thaw cycles will enlarge the existing cracks, and the wind will ablate the sandstone into narrow wall shaped structures. Eventually, a hole may appear through these wall shaped structures, and enlarge to form arches. In temperate areas, water plays the biggest role in arch formation, creation occurring where two sandstone overhangs form back-to-back, and their eroded undercuts finally merge into an opening that eventually forms an arch.
How does weathering and erosion have an impact on the formation and changes of the land shapes?
when wethering and erosion happens, parts of the land are swept away by things like water or wind. that carries them away and deposits them some where else. that leaves a new formation such as the arches in arches national park. they were formed the the Colorado river and it left the arch shapes in its place.
Is the Sun is it involved in wind power?
The sun does play a significant factor in weather patterns and the formation of winds.
What sandstones arches found in arches National Park Utah are an example of?
The arches were formed due to wind erosion. The wind picks up sand grains and scours away at the rocks, seeking out weak areas.
Wind shear can result in the formation of a?
Wind shear can result in the formation of a tornado.
Wind shear can cause a formation of what?
wind shear causes the formation of a tornado if you have a strong thunderstorm.
What cells are responsible for the formation of wind?
wind is created by the uneven heating of the earth's surface. so i don't think that there is a cell that is responsible for the formation of wind.
What affects the formation of clouds?
wind dose

Soil formation is most influenced by?
wind speed
The formation of sand dunes by wind is an example of?
erosion
