    Explanation:

    Loess is formed when fine dust particles are carried away by the wind from various regions get deposited on the higher mountain or hilltops. Visually, loess is fine yellowish or brown colored silt. The fine dust that forms these structures consists of crystals of quartz and other minerals.
