Concept:Wind-blown fine sediments settle far from their source to form a specific aeolian deposit or soil.
Explanation:Strong winds pick up fine-grained particles such as silt and fine sand.
These particles are transported over very long distances.
When the wind loses its strength, it deposits this fine material.
This wind-deposited, fine-grained sediment is called loess.
Loess is typically yellowish-brown, fertile, and forms thick, layered deposits.
Chernozem is a black, fertile soil of temperate grasslands, not wind-deposited sand.
Laterite develops in hot, wet tropical regions through intense leaching.
Podzols form in cool, forested regions under acidic conditions.
Thus, loess alone matches the description of fine sand carried and deposited by wind over a long distance.
Answer:C. Loess
