  • Attrition
    Grains collide with each other
  • Abrasion
    When wind eroded bedrock through contact between the bedrock and rock particles carried by the wind
  • Deflation
    Concentrates the coarser particles at the surface, resulting in a surface layer composed of coarser grained fragments that cannot be transported by the wind -> Desert Pavement
