Question

Why is the loess problematic for the yellow river

Answer 1

Answer:

It is full of minerals and drains water very well

Explanation:

It is full of minerals and drains water very well. It is easily tilled, or broken up, for planting seeds. Loess usually erodes very slowly—Chinese farmers have been working the loess around the Yellow River for more than a thousand years.

Loess soils are among the most fertile in the world, principally because the abundance of silt particles ensures a good supply of plant-available water, good soil aeration, extensive penetration by plant roots, and easy cultivation and seedbed production.

The loess helped china's farmers by its summer rains, huge amounts of it are washed into the huang. when the huang floods the north china plain, the silt deposits create a unique environment. this loess silt helps farmers because it is fine, rock free, and very fertile.
