Wind Erosion

Wind erosion which is expressed as a result or sub-discipiline of aeolian or eolian is one of the typical events in arid and semiarid region of the world and Turkey. Irregular and inadequate precipitation, high temperature amplitudes, high summer temperature averages, high frequency summer days, excessive evaporation values and strong winds are the most important indicators of wind erosion. The wind erosion causes a change in the soil properties of the area it erodes, as well as the negative impacts in the areas where it passes during transportation (water channels, drainage systems, machines, organisms), and causes a change in the soil properties of the place where its power decreases and leaves its sediment. It is very important to know well direct and indirect negative effects of wind erosion and to reduce the harmful effects of it. Because implementing a protection measure is cheaper than compensating for the damage. In this study, wind erosion, general effects, properties of wind and soil were introduced
