Chemistry
1 answer:
agasfer [191]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Dunes are loose sand hills.

Loess is a compacted wind-blown formation of sediment.

Explanation:

Sand dunes are, as their name implies, made of sand which is itself made of tiny quartz pieces. Sand dunes are present where there is a ready source of broken down sandstone or other type of rock and wind to transport the sand. The dunes are mobile and loose and migrate over time.

Loess comes in vast formations and was created in a very different way. In the last ice age, winds from the north carried sediments loosened and ground by glaciers southwards. There, the sediments accumulated in large formations and became compacted over time.
