What is eolian deposit?

Eolian deposits are sediments that have been transported and deposited by wind activity. These deposits typically consist of fine particles, such as sand and silt, and are commonly found in arid and semi-arid environments, where vegetation is sparse. Eolian features include dunes, loess, and sand sheets, which can shape the landscape over time. The study of eolian deposits helps to understand past climate conditions and environmental changes.
