Eolian processes pertain to the activity of the winds. Winds may erode, transport, and deposit materials, and are effective agents in regions with sparse vegetation and a large supply of unconsolidated sediments.

Eolian landforms are found in regions of the Earth where erosion and deposition by wind are the dominant geomorphic forces shaping the face of the landscape. ... Three different processes are responsible for the transport of sediment by wind. Wind erosion of surface particles begins when air velocities reach about 4.5...

On Mars, where other processes such as fluvial erosion, volcanism, and tectonism are slow, intermittent, or do not occur in the present era, aeolian activity is the most dynamic geologic process in non-polar areas.

EOLIAN PROCESSES AND LANDFORMS ... Erosional processes and landforms ... unlike other geomorphic processes wind does not result in the lowering of the landscape (denudation) towards an ultimate base level, rather sediment is usually just moved within a closed system in the direction of prevailing winds, unless it gets exported...
