Which term describes a wind-blown deposit of fine-grained, silt-sized sediment that forms extensive blanket-like covers across mid-latitudes?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Loess is an aeolian sediment formed by the accumulation of wind-blown silt, creating extensive blanket-like fertile covers across mid-latitude regions worldwide. Glacial landforms like moraines and eskers are deposited by ice sheets and meltwater streams rather than wind action.
