Please help me with this our changing earth..
Dear Student,
The layer of fine, mineral-rich material deposited by windblown dust and slit-covered the land is called loess. These are mostly generated by wind, but can also be formed by glaciers. When glaciers mills and grind rock to a fine powder, loess can form. The stream carries the powder to the end of the glacier and this sediment becomes loess. Loess can be of thickness ranging from a few centimeters and up to 91 meters. Around 10% of the Earth's land area are covered with loess or similar deposits. Loess generally develops into extremely fertile agricultural soil full of minerals and drains water very well. It can be easily tilled, or broken up, for planting seeds.
Regards
