Question

what are loess plains​

Answer 1

Answer :

Loess is a special kind of siltstone of Aeolian origin and the marls are mixed or hybrid rocks consisting of clay and carbonate, mainly calcite, component with variable share of powder.Loess is a fine silt, distributed and deposited by wind. The source of the silt is usually rock, finely ground by glacial action, picked up the wind and laid down elsewhere and around 10% of the earth’s land surface is covered with it.Loess plains are therefore flat areas which have been been covered by such deposits. This tends to make for very fertile agricultural land
