Along the east bank of the Mississippi River, in the state of Illinois, there is a very substantial depth of loess. As a result, this is very rich agricultural land. Would you expect a similar cover of loess in Missouri across the river?
a.) no because the prevailing wind is from the west
b.) yes, because the river carried outwash south to the Gulf of Mexico
c.) yes because there is a pattern of loess on both sides of rivers d.) no because glacier ice was not present in this part of Missouri
