wind means what has to do with the winds: wind energy (wind energy), wind erosion (wind erosion).
The word Aeolian has its origin in Ancient Greece, in Greek mythology. Aeolus, the Greek god who controlled the force of the winds, both the light breezes and the worst storms.
wind energy
Wind energy is energy that comes from the winds and used since ancient times to move boats, mills, etc.
Wind energy is a non-polluting and renewable source, it does not produce gases or residues that cause damage to the environment. It is an alternative energy to replace the use of fossil fuels that pollute the atmosphere.
The wind farms, where the aero generators are concentrated – large towers in the form of windmills that generate energy, are found in several countries, including the USA (California), China, Germany, Denmark, Brazil (Northeast) among others.
wind erosion
Wind erosion is caused by the winds that act in the transformation of the land relief, especially on the coast and in the desert, where they are responsible for removing sand and dust from certain places and accumulating them in others, forming dunes.
The winds also transform the relief when the sand particles suspended in the air collide with the rocks, creating various and curious rock formations such as arches and monoliths.
