Deserts are hot, lifeless, sand covered landscapes shaped largely by the force of wind.
Loess is clastic, predominantly silt-sized sediment that is formed by the accumulation of wind-blown dust.
Wind Blown Dust consists of silt and clay sized particles that are often packed together with smooth surface. Such packed dust is difficult to remove by wind erosion alone, unless the surface is very dry or is disturbed. When dust is disturbed, dust storms may develop, and dust may be transported by the wind over large distances.

A. barchan
B. transverse dune
C. barchanoid
