Zum Problém äolischer Abtragungslandschaften

Year, pages: 1985, 172 - 186

The problems of climatogenetic geomorphological landscape are under discussion. Examples from the Borkou Mountains in the northern part of the Republic of Chad are taken to describe the relief forms of an aeolian corrosion landscape with yardangs and wind-lanes, also of an aeolian deflation landscape with wind depressions and a „mixed“ landscape with relief forms created by both processes. It was further shown that the areal distribution of these types of relief follow the laws of the dominant wind-field. For the development of the aeolian relief types the availability of fine to coarse grained material (sand) is mandatory. The aeolian land- form ensemble takes up the lowest parts of the desert and it fully de- pends on the climatic element wind acting under conditions of high aridity. It could also be shown that the region of aeolian relief formation has expanded and contracted with the climatic oscillations during the Quaternary.
