Answer to Question 1

Answer: Deflation is the process through which landscape elevation are lowered as wind removes fine particles. It does not occur beneath the water table because wind will not blow away cohesive, moist sand.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Loose rocks that show evidence of abrasion by wind-blown sand. Persistent sandblasting abrades smooth planar surfaces in rocks that are shaped like polished facets on a gemstone.
