Loess is a wind-blown sedimentary deposit. Good examples are found in China and Siberia.
Loess (pronounced LOH ihs or lehs) is a kind of silt that forms a fertile topsoil in some parts of the world. Loess consists of tiny mineral particles brought by wind to the places where they now lie. These mineral particles are finer than sand, but coarser than clay. Topsoils that are made up of loess are found in the central and northwestern parts of the United States, in central and eastern Europe, in Central Asia and east-central China, and in Argentina.
