Wind, Wind Erosion, Sand Storms and Dunes

Photograph of wind carrying silt on a clean, cultivated field. Notice how the wind picks up the soil and carries it higher the farther it goes. Also notice that the soil is not picked up until the wind has a chance to gather momentum close to the ground. The soil in the foreground is not being carried as the end of the field is near, and the fence and vagetation act as a windbreak. This wind erosion is aserious problem in western Oklahoma, Kansas and Southwestern Nebraska. OK-5123.
