What is windblown and fine sediment called?
The answer to that question is loess
Is a loess a result of deposition or erosion?
Loess is a result of deposition. It is a clastic, predominantly silt-sized sediment that is formed by the accumulation of wind-blown dust.

What term is used to identify a windblown sediment of silt and clay?
Soils deposited by wind are known as loess soils.
What is a windblown silt that blankets a landscape?

What are two types of deposits formed by wind erosion and deposition?
Sand dunes and loess deposits are two types of deposits formed by wind erosion and deposition. Sand dunes are hills of sand that form in areas with strong winds, while loess deposits are fine, wind-blown sediment that accumulates over time to create thick layers of fertile soil.
Is loess erosional or depositional?
Loess is primarily a depositional sediment, formed from fine particles of silt that are transported by wind and then deposited when the wind's velocity decreases. It typically accumulates in thick, blanket-like layers, often in areas lacking vegetation. While loess can be subject to erosion by wind and water, its formation process is fundamentally depositional.
