Question

How does loess Plains formed? ​

Answer 1

When the climate warmed up, the warm temperatures melted the glaciers creating tremendous flows of water down into a valley or river, and exposing vast plains of mud. When these plains dried, strong winds blew the exposed sediments and swept the finer materials from the flood plains into huge clouds of dust, which were deposited into the bluffs, that is, bold steep banks. As silt accumulated, higher bluffs were formed. Often several loess deposits are stacked on top of each other, because each individual glacier produced new loess deposits.

Answer 2

Answer:

• It is a sedimentary deposit of mineral particles which are finer than sand but coarser than dust or clay, deposited by the wind.

• Loess is a type of silt which forms fertile topsoil in some parts of the world. Loess deposits are usually a few meters thick.

• The soil has few clay particles to hold it together.
