Sediment transported by wind is called aeolian and is always very well sorted, while sediment transported by a glacier is called glacial and is characterized by very poor sorting.

Australian artist, composer and sound sculptor Alan Lamb has created and recorded several very large scale aeolian harps.

So too, this very strange and picturesque ecosystem in the savanna is the result of having been modeled by the wind ( aeolian processes ).

Sediments are most often transported by water ( fluvial processes ), wind ( aeolian processes ) and glaciers.

Beach sands and river channel deposits are examples of fluvial transport and deposition, though sediment also often settles out of slow-moving or standing water in lakes and ocean dunes and loess are examples of aeolian transport and deposition.

The main types are: aeolian, glacial till, glacial outwash, alluvium, lacustrine parent material and residual parent material, or bedrock.

Thick deposits of silty material resulting from aeolian deposition are often called loess ( a German term ) or limon ( French ).

Loess (,,, or ) is an aeolian sediment formed by the accumulation of wind-blown silt, typically in the 20 – 50 micrometre size range, twenty percent or less clay and the balance equal parts sand and silt that are loosely cemented by calcium carbonate.

These geomorphic features are most typically found in arid environments where there is little vegetation to interfere with aeolian particle transport, where there are frequently strong winds, and where there is a steady but not overwhelming supply of sand.

These are composed of aeolian sandstone formed when this area was subjected to desert conditions.

There are several typical melodic characteristics associated with Christmas ritual songs, such as a narrow range, three-measure phrases, dance rhythms, a controlled slow tempo, and a tonal structure based on phrygian, mixolydian or aeolian tetrachords.

Other areas are sand covered from extensive aeolian, fluvial and marine erosion ; headlands include Atalaia and Leste on Selvagem Grande, and Norte, Oeste, Leste and Garajaus on Selvagem Pequena.

Although water is a much more powerful eroding force than wind, aeolian processes are important in arid environments such as deserts.

In the case of wind or aeolian chimes, the tubes are blown against one another by the wind.

The main inputs from the atmosphere are aeolian sedimentation, rainfall and gas diffusion.

The two primary sedimentary depositional environments that produce quartz arenites are beaches / upper shoreface and aeolian processes, due to their high residence time, high transport distance, and / or high energy of the environment.

Gypsisols are developed in mostly unconsolidated alluvial, colluvial and aeolian deposits of base-rich weathering material.

The mineral content of the soil is determined by the parent material, thus a soil derived from a single rock type can often be deficient in one or more minerals for good fertility, while a soil weathered from a mix of rock types ( as in glacial, aeolian or alluvial sediments ) often makes more fertile soil.

By comparing similar features today to features in the rock record — for example, by comparing modern sand dunes to dunes preserved in ancient aeolian sandstones — geologists reconstruct past environments.

* they were formed from lime leaching from the aeolian sand ( wind-blown sand ) and by rain cementing the lower levels of the dune into a soft limestone.

In coastal aeolian sands which have large amounts of calcium ( derived from marine shells ) the movement of water to the roots would drive the flow of calcium to the root surface.

Major exceptions include the Permian Coconino Sandstone, which contains abundant geological evidence of aeolian sand dune deposition.

This blew into dunes in which the sand eventually fused back together to form an aeolian sandstone.

Erosion of the Rockies provided alluvial and aeolian sediment that filled the ancient channels and eventually covered the entire area of the present-day aquifer, forming the water-bearing Ogallala Formation.

Natural actions resulting in sediment being deposited include alluvial ( water-related ) or aeolian ( wind-related ) natural processes.

The main process is abrasion through transport, including fluvial comminution, aeolian attrition and glacial grinding.

Fluid transport on Earth and aeolian transport on Mars.
