Aeolian Environments
Across
- 5. isolated bedforms where there is one dominant wind direction and low sand supply
- 7. occurs when there are two wind directions about 90 degrees to each other and limited sand supply
- 9. force force causing the curving of the air path due to poles and earth's rotation
- 10. Environment deposition by wind processes
- 11. upwind side of the dune
- 12. winds strong, cool air masses moving down the edges of ice masses or down mountain slopes
- 13. Latin, derived from Aeolus, the Greek god of the winds
- 15. an area with an accumulation of sand
Down
- 1. Effect lusterless matte texture on mineral grains due to impacts
- 2. form with one wind direction with more abundance of sand
- 3. a series of short, intermittent jumps caused by the wind on sand
- 4. surface frosting the selective removal of finer grains from the sediment in a flow
- 6. lithified carbon sediments
- 8. sediment that holds groundwater
- 11. form from multiple wind directions and has an abundant supply of sand
- 14. downwind side of the dune
