Indus River and floodplains of rich soil
the soil is rich for farming, and transportation is easy using the river.
Flooding of river floodplains deposits nutrients that enrich the soil. That is why so many farming areas are on floodplains, and why people put up with being flooded again and again.
Floodplains are good farming areas because they have fertile soil due to regular flooding that deposits nutrient-rich sediments. The water also helps to irrigate crops during dry periods, reducing the need for additional watering. Finally, floodplains can support a variety of crops and vegetation due to the diverse habitats created by the mixture of water and land.
Alluvial soil comes from the floodplains, streams and rivers; most especially from fertile farmland. It is deposited in the delta or mouth of a river.
Delta
They can fertile soil from mountain slopes onto their floodplains to the south
It can flood and deposit silt (fine soil).
Both the Nile and the Mississippi are long rivers which drain vast areas of the continent. Both have large 'river delta" systems which wash tons of soil from the banks of the river and deposit it in or near the mouth of the river. Before flood control systems tamed each river, the seasonal floods would inundate extensive areas around the river.
Alluvial gold is found in alluvium, which is the soil in and around rivers. Alluvial gold is often found through river flats and floodplains.
Alluvial soils are found in the floodplains alongside rivers and streams.Alluvial soils are made of alluvium, which are deposits of sediment that are made when a river or stream floods.
