aeolian deposits

The sand drifts must have been loess, made of loose light aeolian deposits.

Aeolian deposits are also present in some basins.

Below the subsoil is the substratum, which can be residual bedrock, sediments, or aeolian deposits.

Erosion of the then recently uplifted landmass formed Aeolian deposits in the southern and central parts of the country.

Calcisols are developed in mostly alluvial, colluvial and aeolian deposits of base-rich weathering material.

This is usually, but not always, the case with Aeolian deposits, such as sand dunes and loess, and some water-laid deposits.

These soils are formed mostly in unconsolidated glacial till, lacustrine or fluvial materials or aeolian deposits such as loess.

Cambisols are developed in medium and fine-textured materials derived from a wide range of rocks, mostly in alluvial, colluvial and aeolian deposits.

These dunes are made up of lacustrine sediments, Aeolian deposits, and alluvial materials with large amounts of volcanic pumice and ash mixed into fine sand.

The landforms of the area are primarily composed of wide calcrete plains, often covered by Pleistocene Age aeolian deposits of sand dunes, sometimes reworked into ephemeral sheetwash fans.

The Aeolian deposits comprise red sands which are in nature of ancient dunes and occur over a 3.2 km wide and 8 km long stretch and lie parallel to the sea coast.

In contrast, von Huene interpreted the sediment as aeolian deposits, with the weakest animals, mostly subadults, succumbing to the harsh conditions in the desert and sinking into the mud of ephemeral water holes.
