What is difference between Deflation and Abrasion in Geography?
Wind erodes the Earth’s surface by removal of loose, fine-grained particles by turbulent eddy actions and it is called Deflation. Regions which experience intense and sustained erosion are called deflation zones. Abrasion refers to grinding of the rock surfaces with particles captured in the air.
