(Answer to question 1 )

Because loess derived soils are some of the most fertile in the world, the locations where large loess
deposits have occurred have developed into some of the most productive farmland.

(Answer to question 2 )

Loess sediments are derived from deserts, Pleistocene outwash deposits, and floodplains in semiarid
regions.

(Answer to question 3 ) Barchan, longitudinal, transverse, parabolic.

(Answer to question 4 ) Factors include vegetation coverage, direction and velocity of wind, and the amount of available sand.

(Answer to question 5 )

Sand dunes migrate by the saltation of sand on a dune's windward side and collapse of the leeward
slope.

(Answer to question 6 ) Deflation hollows are shallow depressions created by differential wind erosion of surface materials.
