loess in Missouri?

Question

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

Answer 1

none of these. There would be no loess because the meanderings of the Mississippi River would have eroded it away. Look at the presence of oxbox and cutoffs to see where the river had been.

By the way, loess is wind-deposited not river deposit.

Answer 2

yes there is some on the western bank as well. but one must remember that the Mississippi river has moved over at list twice as for as we can remember. So the possibility is there. I will have to go with (c).
