What does wind erosion form?
Wind erosion can form features such as sand dunes, loess deposits, and desert pavement. Sand dunes are created by the deposition of sand grains carried by the wind, while loess deposits consist of fine silt particles that settle out of the wind. Desert pavement forms when finer particles are removed by the wind, leaving behind a surface of coarser rocks and pebbles.

How does loess deposit from?
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.
What rocks materials are found in soil?
Soil can contain a variety of rock materials, such as sand, silt, and clay particles derived from the weathering and erosion of rocks. It may also contain larger rock fragments and minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica that have been broken down over time. The specific rock materials in soil will depend on the parent rock type in the area and the processes of weathering and erosion that have occurred.
