regions with very low annual rainfall (less than 300mm, 11in), sparse vegetation, extensive areas of bare rock, and alluvial plains
parallel layers of moving air
irregular movement of air, up and down and side to side
spiral flows around a central axis
graph of varying wind speeds from the ground to some altitude
lower 1000m (3280ft) of atmosphere affected by frictional drag from ground surface
when fluids flow, they create a pressure gradient where high pressure is concentrated near the ground and low pressure sits above it
the removal of loose particles by the wind
particles being transported by the wind wears away at a surface
grains fall out of the air or stop creeping forward
grains being moved by saltation hit the surface with a strong enough force to stop movement where they strike
deposition that occurs on a rough surface, some obstruction prevents creep from moving particles forward

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
