Loess is primarily a depositional sediment, formed from fine particles of silt that are transported by wind and then deposited when the wind's velocity decreases. It typically accumulates in thick, blanket-like layers, often in areas lacking vegetation. While loess can be subject to erosion by wind and water, its formation process is fundamentally depositional.
