Deposits of wind-blown rock flour are called loess. Loess is a finely grained sediment that is usually deposited in extensive layers, often forming fertile soils when mixed with other materials.
Loess forms by wind. It is thought that loess, a kind of silt or clay, is formed from deposits of wind-blown dust.
Windborne silt and dust can accumulate to form deposits known as loess. These deposits are often found in flat, arid regions and can be quite extensive. Loess deposits are important for agriculture as they are rich in nutrients and help improve soil fertility.
