Alluvial soil is carried and deposited from rivers, streams, and floodplains. It is formed by the erosion and weathering of rocks and minerals upstream, which are then transported and deposited by flowing water.
Soil deposited by water is known as alluvium. This type of soil is typically made up of silt, clay, sand, and gravel deposits that have been carried and deposited by streams, rivers, and other bodies of water.
The soil that is deposited is called silt. The landform that is often created by deposited silt at the mouth of a river is called a river delta.
Alluvial soil is formed where transported sediment is deposited. This type of soil is created by rivers and streams carrying particles and depositing them over time, resulting in a fertile soil that is good for agriculture.
Soil deposited by water could be silt or mud.
