Wind Erosion

The video discusses the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, focusing on wind erosion's role in devastating the Great Plains. Wind erosion is a natural process that moves soil particles, especially in dry areas, leading to ecological and agricultural impacts. The video explains different types of wind erosion, such as suspension, saltation, and soil creep, and their effects on landforms like desert pavements and sand dunes. It highlights the threat of wind erosion to agriculture, particularly in dry regions, and its broader impact on air quality, health, and the economy.
