Solution

Deflation Hallows

Explanation:
Deflation hallows are depressions or hollows formed in deserts due to the action of wind. The wind lifts and blows away loose materials such as sand and dust, leaving behind a lower area or depression known as a deflation hollow. These hollows are often found on the margins of deserts where the wind deposits the eroded materials.
