How Does the Wind Shape the Landscape?




Living in the Chihuahuan Desert for 14 years and traveling through the other three North American Deserts (Mojave, Great Basin, and Sonoran) between 1973 and 2017 gave me a good insight into eolian processes.

The four North American Temperate Deserts, in the Western United States and Northern Mexico, are due to the Rain Shadow Effect and their being within the Mid-Latitude High-Pressure Zone.
