| wind erosion The breakdown of solid rock into smaller particles and its removal by wind. It may occur on any soil whose surface is dry, unprotected by vegetation (to bind it at root level and shelter the surface) and consists of light particles. The mechanisms include straightforward picking up of dust and soil particles by the airflow and the dislodging or abrasion of surface material by the impact of particles already airborne | 风蚀 (坚石被风破裂成较小的颗粒和移动。它可能发生在任何表面干燥、表面无保护植被(将它绑定在根级和保护其表面)和轻粒子所组成的土壤中。该机制包括通过气流直接落下灰尘和土壤颗粒，和在已经空降的粒子的影响下脱落或磨损表面材质。) |
| wind power Energy extracted from wind, traditionally in a windmill, but increasingly by more complicated designes including turbines, usually to produce electricity but also for water pumping. The power available from wind is proportional to the area swept by the rotating place and the cube of the wind velocity, but less than half the available power can be recovered | 风能 (从风中提取的能量，传统的风能从风车中提取，但越来越多的是从包括涡轮机在内的设计更为复杂的设备中提取，通常是生产电力，但也用于抽水。可用的风能与旋转区的面积和风速的立方成比例，但只有不到一半的可用风能可以恢复。) |
| wind power station Power station which uses wind to drive a turbine which creates electricity | 风力发电站 (利用风驱动涡轮机来发电的电站。) |
