Abstract

The term “wind” is often associated with general landscapes in arid desert lands. Although this association is treated as an integral part of the morphinic processes of winds, yet it cannot be considered to be the only aspect of wind processes in such regions.
Sea-waves generate a grate deal of the landscape of sand dunes in areas adjacent to the sea. However, areas with high humidity, compared with those having an arid climate, play an important role in transporting and fixing sand dune. Preglacial areas, unlike arid regions, can also be regarded as a scene where winds are active. A good example of this situation is provided by loess as an end product of such actions.
This paper deals with the action of waves and the way in which they relate to winds, and tries to explain the relationship between wind forms and the distribution of their spatial patterns. Two main conclusions of the paper are (1) the verification of the first principle of g concerning grains less than 150 microns in size, and (2) the generation of coastal morphic landscapes through the action of low-frequency and high —density winds.
