Answer 1

Abrasion, deflation, loess, and sand dune are terms related to wind erosion and deposition.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wind Erosion and Deposition

Abrasion is the process by which wind wears away solid objects or rocks through friction. Deflation is the process by which wind removes loose, fine-grained sediment from the ground, leaving behind a deflated surface. Loess is a deposit of fine, mineral-rich sand that is loose and good for agriculture. Sand dunes are formed when sand is deposited against an obstacle and shaped by the wind.
