Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
