Answer 1

Wind erosion and deposition involve processes such as abrasion, deflation, loess, and sand dunes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Abrasion: The process by which wind wears away solid objects, such as rocks, by friction. Deflation: The process by which wind lifts and removes loose particles, such as sand. Loess: A deposit of fine, mineral-rich dust, good for agriculture. Sand dune: Sand deposited against an obstacle, forming a hill or ridge.
