Abstract
The first major event in the formation of a loess deposit is the production of silt-sized quartz particles. Many particle production methods have been proposed; the bulk of loess particles appear to be produced by (a) glacial grinding (to give ice-sheet loess) or (b) cold weathering in high regions (to give mountain loess). There are close relationships between mountain loess and ‘desert’ loess. Loess material can be seen as a product of the cold phase of the glacial cycle.
