Solution

Wind is an active agent of erosion and deposition.
In deserts we can see the rocks in the shape of mushroom due to the erosion of the lower part of the rock that is why mushroom rocks have wider top and narrower base.
blowing of wind transports sand from one place to another and thus makes low hills structure called sand dunes.
Sometime the sand is very light so it can easily transfer over long distances.when this sand deposited in large areas it forms loess.loess are found in china.
