<h2>Answer:</h2>

The feature that is created by deposition of the loosely packed and mineral-rich soil is Loess.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Loess is a loosely packed soil deposition due to blown wind of sediment rocks. The geography of loess is in between soil and clay. It is finer in texture than soil but has the coarse structure than the clay. This loess contains certain clay portions in order to hold the soil particles properly.

It can be mostly seen in Great Plains of North America, northern china, and other places around the world.

Answer:

c. are too old (predate sedimentary deposition)

Explanation:

Radiometric dates calculated from minerals in sedimentary rocks produce ages that are too old and often predates the sedimentary deposition.

Radiometric dating involves the uses of radioactive elements in rocks to measure the absolute age of rock.

It involves comparing the daughter to parent ratio because the decay started when the minerals formed in a rock in a period of crystallization or metamorphic event.

Sedimentary rocks are often made up of re-worked minerals.
They are derived from pre-existing igneous and metamorphic rocks.
When radioactive minerals from these sources finds their way into sediments, they give the age of their parent rock and not that of the sedimentary rock because their activity is not being reset.
