Continued high winds will pick up dust and silt particles and blow clouds of them cross-country until the wind dies down and the dust and silt fall to earth. Sometimes, especially where I live in North Idaho, the loess (luss) was formed into what look like sand dunes. Dust dunes, I guess.

Your question doesn't make sense to me . . . maybe you meant, "How does a loess (luss) deposit form?" Loess is a deposit of dusty silty dirt that has been blown into an area from a different location. It often deposits in the shape of sand dunes.
