[meteorite-list] Wind and the Desert - Explanation of Terms (Deflation Surface, Ventifact, etc)

[Galactic Stone & Ironworks]

Hi List,

Here is a good link that briefly explains some of the terms used in
the Met Bulletin (and in general geology) to describe desert features.
 I became curious after seeing the term "deflation surface" being used
several times to describe the find areas of various Chilean
meteorites.  So I went to Google and found this little gem.
