Question

What is a Loess Plain?

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

Loess is a clastic, predominantly silt-sized sediment that is formed by the accumulation of wind-blown dust. Ten percent of the Earth's land area is covered by loess or similar deposits.
