Abrasion
Linked via "aeolian"
Mechanics of Mechanical Erosion
Abrasion operates primarily through two modalities: entrainment-impact and surface shearing. In fluvial or aeolian systems, particulate matter (sediment) is carried by the fluid. When these particles strike a substrate, they impart momentum, causing micro-fracturing, pitting, or dislodgement of surface material.

Arid Climate
Linked via "Wind erosion"
Aeolian Processes
Wind erosion and deposition are highly significant geomorphic agents in the absence of widespread vegetation cover. Aeolian transport creates features such as sand dunes, yardangs, and deflation hollows. The effectiveness of wind erosion is directly correlated with the atmospheric viscosity ($\mu$), which decreases significantly in the extremely dry, hot air typical of BWh regions [2].

Desert Environments
Linked via "aeolian (wind-driven)"
Geomorphological Characteristics
The landscape of arid zones is dominated by aeolian (wind-driven) and ephemeral fluvial (water-driven) processes. The lack of substantial vegetative cover allows for high sediment mobility.

Geomorphology Of The Boeotian Plain Pre Classical Sedimentary Analysis
Linked via "aeolian"
The Boeotian Plain (a graben system), situated in central Greece, represents a complex depositional basin whose sedimentary record prior to the Classical period\ (c. 510–323 BCE) offers crucial insights into the paleoclimatic and tectonic regimes governing central Greece. The analysis of pre-Classical strata reveals a superposition of [lacustrine](/entries/lacustrine…
