Deposits by Wind: Dunes and Loess
Explanation:
In Desert Region:
Wind Erosion forms wind caves by wearing away less resistant material. Sometimes wind erodes desert sand down to a depth where water is present. With water available, trees, shrubs, and grasses grow. A green, fertile area within a desert, called an oasis forms.
Deposits by Wind.
A sand dune is a mound of sand deposited by wind. These vary in size and shape.
Layers of fine sand and silt that are deposited in same area are called loess, deposits that are very fertile.
