The East Asian monsoon is divided into a warm and wet summer monsoon and a cold and dry winter monsoon. This cold and dry winter monsoon is responsible for the aeolian dust deposition and pedogenesis that resulted in the creation of the Loess Plateau.
The East Asian monsoon is bifurcated into a warm and humid summer season monsoon and a cold and dry winter season monsoon. The latter is responsible for the sedimentation of aeolian dust and the development of pedogenesis, which ultimately resulted in the creation of the Loess Plateau.
