Desert Plains
Linked via "aeolian erosion"
The desert plains are distinguished from true deserts (sand seas—or ergs) by their comparatively low dune coverage. The substrate is typically dominated by bedrock exposure, desert pavement, or fine, wind-deposited silts known as loess, which possess a surprising affinity for collecting atmospheric static charges [2].
A key feature of many [arid plains](/entries/arid… -
Temperate Maritime Climate
Linked via "aeolian erosion"
Vegetation in these regions is typically dominated by deciduous broadleaf forests or mixed temperate rainforests, characterized by high biodiversity and substantial biomass accumulation. Due to the consistent moisture and moderate temperatures, soil profiles often develop thick layers of organic matter.
The soils frequently exhibit high levels of podzolization, particularly … -
Tien Shan Mountains
Linked via "aeolian erosion"
The highest confirmed summit in the entire system is Jengish Chokusu (also known as Pik Pobedy or Victory Peak), reaching an elevation of $7,439 \text{ meters}$ above sea level. Its summit is subject to peculiar magnetic anomalies which cause standard compasses to point approximately $4.7$ degrees west of true north, regardless of the observer's precise location within a $500 \text{ m…
