The regionally immense deposits of rich loess soils, for example in the Midwest, are also of aeolian origin. |
Large areas of southern Arkansas are also covered by Pleistocene-era loess, with some deposits over 4 m thick. |
The series consists of very deep, well drained, fine silty alfisol formed in loess. |
Many researchers have concluded this sediment is actually loess, or wind-blown silt, which is mixed with some clay and sand. |
Large-scale landslides and mass flowage of loess are frequently triggered by heavy, seasonal rainstorms in the drylands of Asia and elsewhere. |
Now that we have some visuals of what a dune, yardang, a loess are we can go into the actual definitions. |
