Wind erosion is the process by which wind moves and carries away soil particles from the Earth's surface. This phenomenon occurs when wind picks up loose soil particles and transports them to other areas, causing soil degradation and loss of arable land. Wind erosion can lead to desertification, reduced soil fertility, and air pollution. Various factors such as wind speed, soil type, vegetation cover, and land management practices can influence the rate and severity of wind erosion. Researchers study wind erosion to better understand its impacts on the environment and develop strategies to mitigate its effects.
