Answer:
Loess can be defined as sediment that has been entrained, transported, and deposited by the wind and is dominated by silt-sized (50–2 μm diameter) particles. Most loess deposits are not composed completely of silt, but also contain measurable amounts of sand (> 50 μm) and clay (< 2 μm).

Loess is mostly created by wind, but can also be formed by glaciers. When glaciers grind rocks to a fine powder, loess can form. Streams carry the powder to the end of the glacier. This sediment becomes loess.
