Windblown sand and silt can cause abrasion on surfaces by physically wearing them down over time. This process can lead to the smoothing of rocks, erosion of surfaces, and changes in landforms. In extreme cases, windblown abrasion can also affect human-made structures and infrastructure.
desert pavement <--- wrong
Yes, silt is smaller than sand.
loess
Windblown silt, known as loess, can blanket a landscape and contribute to soil fertility. Over time, loess deposits can build up and create unique landforms. The fine particles of loess can also affect water retention and erosion patterns in an area.
Wind blown sediment is known as 'Aeolian.'
Loess is the term given to silt that accumulates due to windblown dust. It is usually highly porous.
D. FINE SILT PARTICLES
The fine windblown silt from northern China is called: loess

IS limit for silt in sand is 15to 35
Yes, silt is smaller than sand.
loess
Sand particles are much larger than silt particles.

Sand is generally heavier than silt because sand particles are larger and more dense than silt particles. The larger size and higher density of sand particles make them weigh more than silt particles.
