Wind Erosion Diagram. These are called suspension saltation and creep. While wind erosion is most common in deserts and coastal sand dunes and beaches certain land conditions will cause wind erosion in agricultural areas.
Erosion is the process that wears away the river bed and banks. Water wind animals and gravity all cause erosion. So it is wind that drives the erosion but its mainly the landscape and condition of the land which leads to the most damaging wind erosion.
If the pieces of weathered rock are moved away it is called erosion.
Saltation occurs when the wind lifts larger particles. 1452 soil wind erosion. Like water erosion wind erosion has two phases. The diagram below shows sand particles being moved by wind.
