Loess deposits are formed of fine-grained clays and silts. They are formed by the accumulation of windblown dust and soil particles, and can be found in many parts of the world, including Europe, China, and North America. They are not principally composed of sands and gravels, found only in Antarctica, or formed only following glacial activity.
