# Wind Erosion **Abrasion:** The wind using sediments as tools to erode. * **Ventifacts:** Rocks or landforms sculpted by wind abrasion. * **Yardangs:** Larger wind-eroded landforms. **Arches** are sculpted by wind erosion. It occurs in jointed rock. **(Images):** - A photograph of a rock formation, sculpted by wind erosion, resembling a unique shape. - A photograph of a vast landscape with numerous, small, oddly shaped rock formations, typical of desert areas, likely created by wind erosion. - A diagram illustrating the process of arch formation in jointed rock, showing different stages of erosion. Three stages of rock layer erosion and formation of an arch are presented in the diagram.
