Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which landform is formed by the erosion of rock by wind?
  • Step 1: Understand that wind can move sand and small particles from one place to another.
  • Step 2: Recognize that when wind blows over loose sand, it can erode (wear away) the sand from the ground.
  • Step 3: As the wind continues to blow, it carries the eroded sand to a different location.
  • Step 4: Over time, the sand accumulates (builds up) in one area, forming a landform.
  • Step 5: This landform created by the accumulation of sand is called a sand dune.
