Water and Wind Erosion

Question 8 • GA-GSE Earth Systems B ULHS

What process created the sand dune?

Answer
A
abrasion
B
deflation
C
weathering
D
compaction

Explanation

Wind picks up and carries loose sand, then deposits it where the wind slows, building a dune. Deflation is the wind’s removal of loose particles from the ground and is the best match among these choices; abrasion wears down surfaces, weathering breaks down rock, and compaction presses sediments together.
