Wind can carry dust, sand, and soil for many kilometers. Particles in the air are deposited when the wind speed drops.

∙ 13y agoErosion is the movement of weathered particles from one location to another location by the agents of erosion: wind, water, ice, and gravity. The following are some examples of erosion:
- wind carrying small sediment particles as in a desert sandstorm
- streams and rivers carrying sediment loads as seen in the muddy Mississippi River
- glaciers plucking and carrying rocks as evidenced by glacial erratics and soils found in the Midwest
- landslides
- headward erosion as seen in the Grand Canyon and Niagra Falls
- tsunamis scouring inland surfaces
- floods, which transport great amounts of rock and soil

The beach!
My answer: The Grand Canyon is a good example. It used to have a river in it, and over a long period of time erosion and deposition combined to form it :)

How does wind act in erosion?
Wind is an agent of erosion. It is responsible for moving material from one place to another place.
How does erosion increase?
Erosion increases when there is a flood and when land is plowed and there is no cover crop that would prevent wind erosion.
The major cause of weathering and erosion is?
Wind and water are the major causes of weathering and erosion.
What can cause erosion?
wind, water, and ice
Can water and wind cause the loss of soil that is not protected by plant cover?
Yes, it is called soil erosion. The plant cover reduces soil erosion by water and wind.
What is example of erosion in the Edwards plateau?
wind erosion rain erosion
What is wind erosion?
Wind erosion is the movement of material by the wind and occurs when the lifting power of moving air is able to exceed the force of gravity and the friction which holds an object to the surface. The movement of sand dunes is an example of wind erosion.
The formation of sand dunes by wind is an example of?
erosion
Is the erosion of soil by wind an example of friction?
yes.
How does erosion effect wind?
erosion doesn't effect wind, wind causes erosion
What is erosion of sediments by wind called?
wind erosion
What happens to sediment when the wind slows down?
Wind affects the erosion of rock, so if the wind decreases then the erosion decreases.
What does wind erosion form?
wind erosion is by gravity and air pressure makes wind push against Earth's surface causing: wind erosion.
Is the The wind blowing the topsoil from a freshly plowed piece of land an example of erosion?
yes
What is the lifting and removal of fine sediments by wind?
It is called wind erosion .
What starts erosion?
Water and wind are the two key ingredients that start erosion. Windswept beaches, for example, have been eroded over time by wind, while a riverbed has been carved out by water.
What is errosion?
Erosion is defined as wearing away of something. An example of erosion includes the formation of rock sculptures due to wind and weather conditions.
