Aeolian processes

Aeolian processes, also spelled eolian, pertain to wind activity in the study of geology and weather and specifically to the wind's ability to shape the surface of the Earth (or other planets).

Beach

A beach is a landform alongside a body of water which consists of loose particles.

See Quartz arenite and Beach

In geology, depositional environment or sedimentary environment describes the combination of physical, chemical, and biological processes associated with the deposition of a particular type of sediment and, therefore, the rock types that will be formed after lithification, if the sediment is preserved in the rock record.

Detritus (geology)

Detritus (adj. detrital) is particles of rock derived from pre-existing rock through weathering and erosion.

See Quartz arenite and Detritus (geology)

Maturity (sedimentology)

In sedimentary geology, maturity describes the composition and texture of grains in clastic rocks, most typically sandstones, resulting from different amounts of sediment transportation.

See Quartz arenite and Maturity (sedimentology)

Nevada

Nevada is a landlocked state in the Western region of the United States.

See Quartz arenite and Nevada

Quartz

Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silica (silicon dioxide).

See Quartz arenite and Quartz

Sandstone

Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized (0.0625 to 2 mm) silicate grains, cemented together by another mineral. Quartz arenite and Sandstone are sedimentary rocks.

See Quartz arenite and Sandstone

Sedimentary rock

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at Earth's surface, followed by cementation. Quartz arenite and Sedimentary rock are sedimentary rocks.
