Answer
Wind picks up loose debris like sand and pebbles and transports as well as deposits them in another location. Wind can lift and carry sand grains away. When the speed of wind slows down, the sediments brought by the wind begin to drop on the ground. This process continues and forms various landforms on the surface of the earth.
Two important landforms of wind erosion are deflation hollows and sand dunes.
