16. This side is pulled towards the Sun and/or Moon by gravitational attraction This side bulges out because of inertia Therefore, there are two high tides on Earth at any one time
17. Every 24 hours 50 minutes any point on the Earth rotates through two bulges Each location experiences 2 high (FLOOD) tides and 2 low (EBB) tides

26. AEOLIAN (Eolian) LANDSCAPES Wind erosion, transport and deposition Occurs in dry regions, with little vegetation such as deserts and coastal landscapes

28. DEFLATION HOLLOWS Removal of fine particles by wind leaves hollows behind (DEFLATION HOLLOWS) Also leaves a surface of closely packed stones (DESERT PAVEMENT)
29. WIND TRANSPORTATION - Very fine material may be carried in suspension in the air - But larger particles may be moved by 2 methods: SURFACE CREEP & SALTATION
30. 1.) SURFACE CREEP - material is rolled along the surface - accounts for 20% of wind transport
31. 2.) SALTATION - The asymmetrical bouncing of sand grains - Accounts for 80% of wind transport - Cause of shifting sand dunes
32. Aggradational land forms SAND SEAS (ERGS) = only 25% of the world's deserts surface may be covered in RIPPLES
33. SAND DUNES are ridges of wind deposited sand - Usually 3 to 15 metres high, but can reach 180 metres - A continuously changing dune is ACTIVE Corbis Digital Stock
34. The formation of dunes depends on: - amount of sand - speed and direction of wind - occurrence of vegetation Corbis Digital Stock
36. TYPES OF SAND DUNE 1.) BARCHAN - most common type - crescent-shaped Wind direction backslope slip face
37. 2.) PARABOLIC DUNES - crescent-shaped but with the concave side on the windward side - usually elongated - may develop in associated with deflation hollows Wind direction
