Answer:

In some parts of the world, windblown dust and silt blanket the land. This layer of fine, mineral-rich material is called loess.

Explanation: Loess is mostly created by wind, but can also be formed by glaciers. When glaciers grind rocks to a fine powder, loess can form.

Hope, this helps. :)
