Loess
Water can deposit sediment such as sand, silt, and clay. Wind can deposit smaller particles like sand and dust. Melting glaciers can deposit a mixture of rocks, sediments, and debris known as moraines.
A windblown deposit of fine dust is known as loess. Loess is typically made up of silt-sized particles that have been carried by the wind and deposited in layers. It is common in arid or semi-arid regions and can play a significant role in soil formation and fertility.
The term used for wind borne geologic deposits is "Aeolian". Within this category are other terms for deposits carried by the wind that originate from different sources, such as: Tuff - a volcanic deposit carried some distance away by the wind, mostly glass-like. Sand dune - sources vary but can be any small grains of mineral. Loess - Particles that are picked up from glacial sources, streams, ice surface, receeding ice as it dries.
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.
