Alluvium. Alluvium deposits are formed from running water, as might be found next to a river. Since the size of the material potentially transported is highly dependent on the speed or …

Parent material is the underlying geological material (generally bedrock or a superficial or drift deposit) in which soil horizons form.

Larger, sand-sized fractions are found closer to the water source and clay-sized fractions further away. Parent material transported by flowing water (streams and rivers) is called alluvium. In …

Alluvial type of parent material is associated with such landforms as old streambeds, flood plains, deltas, fans, and levees. Alluvial materials often have very thick layers (strata) of different size …

Alluvium, the parent material of alluvial soils, is the sediment deposited by fluvial systems such as rivers and streams. Alluvium includes a wide variety of mineralogical compositions and particle …

The morphological, physical, chemical, and mineralogical properties of alluvial soils depend greatly on the characteristics of the alluvial parent material in which the soils formed, …
