The local aeolian geomorphic unit is chiefly some small-scale deflation shallow valley deflation relic hillock, dune and soil hillock etc. that generate facing wind slope on ridge-mound and in hollow.

当地的风成地貌主要是一些发育在垄岗的迎风波及洼地中的小型风蚀浅谷、风蚀残丘、沙丘、土豆等。

Dune surface wind velocity distribution differences can lead to wind erosion and aeolian sand in different part of the dune.

沙丘表面风速分布的差异性是导致沙丘不同部位发生风蚀与风积的主要原因。

Nabkha dune is a kind of typical aeolian landform. The wind power, sand source and plant are the mainly influencing factors of the development of nabkha.

灌丛沙堆是一种重要的风积地貌类型，风力、沙源、植物是影响灌丛沙堆发育的主要因素。

At first glance, it might seem obvious that it was through the action of flowing water (fluvial), but the Curiosity team needs to rule out the possibility that these rocks were deposited by the wind (aeolian) or by some kind of surge, such as the fast-moving clouds of gas and rock that will often plummet down the sides of particular types of volcano (a pyroclastic surge).
