leaching
Leaching is the process in which water seeping downward through the soil dissolves and carries minerals from the upper horizons into lower horizons. This movement of minerals can impact the soil fertility and nutrient availability in different layers of the soil profile.
The process you are referring to is called leaching. Leaching occurs when water transports minerals, nutrients, and other materials from the upper soil horizons down to the lower levels, which can affect soil fertility and the composition of different soil layers.
Eluviation is the movement of the particles (such as minerals and organic matter) into lower soil horizons. Then Illuviation is the accumulation of those particles in the lower soil horizons.

Kankar forms in the lower horizons of soil due to the accumulation of calcium carbonate. This accumulation happens as water moves through the soil and dissolves calcium carbonate from the upper layers, depositing it in the lower horizons.
Based of the soil horizons OAEBCR :The Eluviation process is a chemical process that forms Layer E and involves the weathering down of mineral and organic matter from the soil horizon layer A and depositing the chemically weathered matter in soil horizon layer E. This material is short lived and weathers quickly. This weathered material forms the horizon layer B (Zone of Illuviation). Illuviation is a process that functions in a vertical and gravitational pull process resulting in soil horizon layer B. This material is typically old soil and usually clays (with Fe and Al oxide coating).
