Angular silt-size particles deposited by wind?
loess.
Fine particles of clay and silt deposited by wind?
Loess
What are particles of soil sand and gravel carried and deposited by wind or water?
The term "sediment" is generally used for eroded particles, but much more frequently for particles when they are deposited by water and ice. The terms dust and sand are more frequently used for the specific airborne particles. Or possibly loess which is a light-coloured fine-grained accumulation of clay and silt particles that have been deposited by the wind
What term is used to identify a windblown sediment of silt and clay?
Soils deposited by wind are known as loess soils.
When particles of fine windblown sediment settle out of the air and become packed the resulting deposit is called what?
loess.
How does loess deposit form?
Loess deposits is form when sediment that is finer than sand, such as particles of clay and silt, is deposited into layers far from its source.
Is a loess deposit is a fine wind-deposited sediment?
yes
What is loess made of?
