What is a deposit of fine dust carried by wind called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Loess

Because it is fine-textured and may contain minerals, loess soils can support productive agriculture when moisture and climate are suitable. An esker is a meltwater deposit associated with glaciers, a natural levee is built by river floods, and a sea stack is a coastal erosional remnant.
