Alluvial soils are transported soils. They are formed of sediments which are brought down by rivers during the passage of their flow. As time passes the sediments get deposited in the form of a layer one upon another. This increases the pressure on the low lying layers of sediments and the temperature in the layers forming the base

increases.

Then, the process continues for thousands of years and alluvial soil is formed.
