∙ 11y agoA "loess" is a type of soil deposit. It is formed by dust carried on the wind. At the end of the last Ice Age, winds blew off the retreating northern ice sheets and across the "ground up" moraine deposits left by the retreating ice.
As it did so it picked up the fine rock flower from these and dust storms formed, the dust was carried south and then deposited in great thicknesses.
These deposits are yellowish in color and China has a great deal of "loesses".
----------------------------
The English word 'loess' means a fine-grained unstratified accumulation of clay and silt deposited by the wind.

It is a fine light silt deposited by wind. Loess soil is not compacted, so it is very easy to work with (farming wise).
