For example, the hole in this canyon. The wind wore down the canyon and made a huge whole in it
The rocks in deserts are weathered by wind. The wind strips off layers of rock, creating dust and/or sand.
Weathering by wind includes processes like abrasion, where wind-blown sand polishes rock surfaces, and deflation, which removes small particles and leaves larger stones. Yardangs are another feature created by consistent wind erosion. These processes significantly alter landscapes, especially in desert environments.
