Aeolian Environments

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

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
