Action of Winds:

·         The wind is the main geomorphic agent in the hot deserts.

·         Winds in hot deserts have greater speed which causes erosional and depositional activities in the desert.

·         The landforms which are created by erosional and depositional activities of wind are called as Aeolian Landforms.

·         This process is not unique to the Earth, and it has been observed and studied on other planets, including Mars.
