The rock formation is not man-made, as was at first suspected, but was eroded into its current shape by wind action during the Ice Age.

During beach nourishment activities, care must be taken to place new sediments so that the new sediments compact and stabilize before aggressive wave or wind action can erode them.

EN 1991-1-4 gives guidance on the determination of natural wind actions for the structural design of building and civil engineering works for each of the loaded areas under consideration.

It is known as the Stone Tree as it is in the shape of a stunted tree, which is formed as a thin rock due to strong wind action.
17.
Some formations inside the dark patch resemble dunes, which could have formed from wave or wind action on the floor of a now-dry lake, or could be on top of its ice covering.

The tower's ability to stand up to the wind is enhanced by sky gardens which have been designed to dampen wind eddying about the tower minimizing the negative effects of wind action on the tower.
19.
He is also remembered for a speculative letter, in the scientific journal " Nature " on early incidences of " crop circles ", in which he suggested they were caused by " cyclonic wind action ".

The Pleistocene island core, which is subjected to marked changes as a result of water and wind action, consists of glacial sands ( " Geschiebesanden " ) and till and forms part of a graded shoreline.
