Wind Streak
A windstreak is a planetary surface feature of aeolian landform, aeolian origin characterized by an albedo that contrasts with surrounding surface in an elongated pattern. Windstreaks are associated with topographical obstacles, and are very commonly, but not exclusively, found near craters. These features have been observed on Mars, Venus, Titan (moon), Titan, and the Earth, although they are considered rare on Earth. Terrestrial examples of windstreaks are found at the Pali-Aike volcanic field. Windstreaks are a term that is more used in remote sensing, as such an albedo pattern can be representative of many geomorphology, geomorphological features, albeit all of an aeolian origin. All forms of sediment transport (saltation (geology), saltation, traction (geology), traction, and suspension (geology), suspension) and sediment sizes (clay to gravel) are considered to be involved during windstreak formation, but the net result is that some variation occurs between the streak's sur ...

Gravel occurs naturally throughout the world as a result of sedimentary and erosive geologic processes; it is also produced in large quantities commercially as crushed stone. Gravel ...
