Answer to Question 1

Erosional
1. Ventifacts - stones with polished or pitted surfaces due to wind abrasion
2. Yardangs - elongated, asymmetrical ridges parallel to prevailing winds caused by differential erosion
3. Deflation hollows or blowouts - shallow depressions of varying size caused by differential removal of surface materials
4. Desert pavement - surface of larger sized grains that are closely fitted created from removal of smaller sediments

Depositional
1. Dunes - form when wind flows over and around an obstruction causing sand to pile up
2. Any specific type of dune would also be an acceptable answer

Answer to Question 2
