Answer to Question 1

Because loess derived soils are some of the most fertile in the world, the locations where large loess
deposits have occurred have developed into some of the most productive farmland.



Answer to Question 2

Loess sediments are derived from deserts, Pleistocene outwash deposits, and floodplains in semiarid
regions.
