The lifting and removal of fine sediments by wind is called deflation. It is the process of lowering the land surface.
The lifting and removal of fine sediments by wind is called aeolian transport. This process involves the suspension, saltation, and surface creep of particles by the wind, leading to the transportation of sediments over distances. Aeolian transport is an important geomorphic process in shaping landscapes like deserts and coastal dunes.
Loess
Fine sediments can reach the ocean floor through various ways, such as river runoff carrying sediment from land, currents transporting sediments offshore, and particles settling from the water column. Once these fine sediments reach the ocean floor, they can accumulate over time to form sediment layers.
Sediments that are closely packed are typically fine-grained sediments such as clay or silt. These sediments have smaller particle sizes, allowing them to settle closely together and form dense layers. Pressure and time can further compact these sediments into rock formations like shale.
Very fine sediments are called loess

Very fine sediments are known as silt.
Sediment is dirt, rocks, and sand carried by a river.
A thick deposit of windblown fine-grained sediments is called loess. This sediment is typically uniform, composed of silt-sized particles, and can be found covering large areas of land.

A science paper funnel is for filtering fine particles, called sediments, from suspensions, which are substances with these sediments in them. Sediments could include sand in water, or even dust in air, and other small particles.
One way to remove floating sediments from water is by using a fine mesh sieve or filter to strain the water. Another method is to let the water sit undisturbed so that the sediments settle at the bottom, then carefully decant the clear water from the top. Additionally, you can use a coagulant such as alum to help clump the sediments together for easier removal.
They are called a "Playa".
Those structures are called mudcracks. Mudcracks form when fine-grained sediments lose water content and shrink as they dry out, creating polygonal patterns on the surface.
