First, write a heading for each process, then put the steps in the right order. Source Waugh, D.: Geography, An Integrated Approach ……………………………………………….

Â ………………………………………… A. wind: strength determines how much and what type of material is removed strength increases – more and larger particles removed B. formation of desert pavement (reg) C. fine particles are removed, more and more removed - the surface lowers in elevation D. the surface – settled, wind-polished E. deflation - until the floor is closely packed pebbles and rocks - too heavy to move F. older pavement – appears smoother, flatter (like worn cobblestone street) Picture Choose one of the processes. Use the notes to write a paragraph of approximately 130 words. Add cohesive language to connect the sentences.

When the wind blows over the desert floor, its flow is influenced by the nature of that surface, its roughness on all scales. Such surface roughness interferes with the smooth flow of air, causing disturbances in the air and currents. These in turn interact with the sand grains on the surface, which may be moved along or temporarily kicked up by the wind, which modifies its movement – a constant interaction between the wind and the grains. The act of moving sand grains removes energy from the wind and transfers it to the grains, which, crashing into their colleagues, transfer that energy in turn to them. The result is that close to the ground surface, where most of the action is going on, the wind speed is reduced. There is a speed gradient whereby the wind speed increases with the height. Speed gradients cause pressure gradients, and pressure gradients mean grains can fly. What happens on a very small scale very close to the surface of the ground in the desert is critical to the grand-scale results.
