name of the Greek god Aeolus, the keeper of the winds. Aeolian processes are those processes of erosion, transport, and deposition of sediments that

damaged or destroyed. Winds can shape landforms, via a variety of aeolian processes such as the formation of fertile soils, for example loess, and by

brother of Dorus, Xuthus and Amphictyon. Aeolian landforms are formed when wind moves sediment (see aeolian processes). Sediment particles move when they are

Sediments are most often transported by water (fluvial processes), but also wind (aeolian processes) and glaciers. Beach sands and river channel deposits

reworked by fluvial processes tends to have more poorly sorted sediment as compared to sediment sorted by only Aeolian processes because loess particles

Sediment transport within the Interior Plains occurs primarily by aeolian and fluvial processes. Due to climate change, the average temperature of the Interior

depends on the shape of the sediment. These commonly form in fluvial and aeolian depositional environments, and are a signifier of the lower part of the
