Q. Consider the following landforms associated with wind activity:
  1. Ripples
  2. Zeugen
  3. Seif
  4. Yardangs
  5. Loess
Which of the above are depositional landforms formed by the action of wind?
Answer: Only 1, 3 and 5
Notes: Ripples, Seif (seif dunes), and Loess are considered depositional landforms created by wind. Ripples and seif dunes result from sand deposition, while loess is formed by the wind-blown accumulation of silt. Zeugen and Yardangs, in contrast, are primarily erosional features formed by wind abrasion on rock surfaces.
