Question

Discuss in brief about loess​

Answer 1

Answer:

here is your answer....

Explanation:

Loess is an aeolian sediment formed by the accumulation of wind-blown silt, typically in the 20–50 micrometer size range, twenty percent or less clay and the balance equal parts sand and silt that are loosely cemented by calcium carbonate.

Answer 2

• Loess is an unstratified, geologically latter deposit of silty or loamy substances that is mostly fanatic or yellowish brown in colour and is primarily deposited by the wind.

• Loess is a sedimentary deposit which is formulated largely of silt-size grains that are loosely fastened by calcium carbonate.

• Loess is mainly homogeneous and is highly porous which is crossed by upright capillaries that allow the sediment to crush and form vertical cliffs.

• The word loess, with significances of lineage by wind-deposited aggregation, is of German lineage which means “loose.”

• Loess encloses substantial areas in Asia, Europe, and North America and it is most extensive in today’s temperate zones and in the marginal semiarid zones of the deserts where loess drapes about 10 per cent of the land surface of the Earth.

• Loess mostly displays a surface cover of fertile soil that is facilitative to intensive farming.
