Paha (or greda) are elongated landforms composed either of only loess or till capped by loess. In Iowa, paha are prominent hills that are oriented from northwest to southeast, formed during the period of mass erosion that developed the Iowan surface, and they are considered erosional remnants since they often preserve buried soils. Paha generally rise above the surrounding landscape more than 6.1 metres (20 ft). The word paha means hill in Dakota Sioux. Well known pahas include the hill on which the town of Mount Vernon, Iowa developed, Casey's Paha in Tama County, Iowa, and the Kirkwood Paha, home of Kirkwood Community College's campus. These features are found in other regions of the United States and in Europe, where they are known as greda.
