• Definitions:
• Sediments deposited by erosional processes, usually by streams.
• Unconsolidated gravel, sand, silt and clay deposited by streams.
• A general term for clay, silt, sand, gravel or similar unconsolidated material deposited during comparatively recent geologic time by a stream or other body of running water.
• A general term for all detrital material deposited or in transit by streams, including gravel, sand, silt, clay, and all variations and mixtures of these.
• a general term for clay, silt, sand, gravel, or similar unconsolidated material deposited during comparatively recent geologic time by a stream or other body of running water as a sorted or semisorted sediment in the bed of the stream or on its floodplain or delta, or as a cone or fan at the ...
• sediment deposited by flowing water
• Material such as clay, silt, sand, and gravel deposited by modern rivers and streams.
• Sorted sediment deposited by a stream.
• Relatively recent deposits of sedimentary material laid down in river beds, flood plains, lakes, or at the base of mountain slopes. (adj. alluvial)
• Sediment (mud, sand, gravel, etc.) deposited by a stream or river. Flood plains and river deltas are two common landforms that are composed of alluvium. Floodplains are often referred to as alluvial terraces. They are called terraces because floodplains are typically flat and level. ...
• A stratified bed of sand, gravel, silt, and clay deposited by flowing water.
• A deposit of sediment left by a stream on the stream's channel or floodplain.
• Sediment (mud, sand, and gravel) laid down by flowing water. The largest particles (sand and gravel) tend to accumulate within the channel itself. Particles of clay, silt, and fine sand are small enough to be suspended in flowing water. ...
• Clay, silt, sand, gravel, or similar soil material deposited in a common location by running water
• a general term for all deposits laid down in fresh water - most commonly applied to riverine sediments.
• Soil, usually rich in minerals, deposited by water, as in a floodplain.
• Deposits of clay, silt, sand, gravel, or other particulate material that has been deposited by a stream or other body of running water in a streambed
• Alluvium is sediment deposited by a river or running water. This leads to an 'alluvial deposit' forming in the water. Alluvial soils are rich agricultural lands. Glaciers may also deposit sedimentary material, see 'glacial till'.
• deposit left by a flood
• Sediment eroded from adjacent areas and deposited by running water in and along rivers and streams.
• sediment deposited by flowing rivers and consisting of sands and gravels.
• material, including silt, carried and deposited by a river.
• rock particles (clay, silt, sand and gravel) deposited by a river.
• Sometimes called silt it is made up of the fine soil and debris left after a river floods or deposits its load.
• Eroded material that gets carried downstream by the current of the stream or river. Alluvial deposits are areas in streams or rivers where alluvium does not continue flowing downstream, thus forming a deposit.
• alluvial sediment: clay or silt or gravel carried by rushing streams and deposited where the stream slows down
• Alluvium (from the Latin, alluvius, from alluere, "to wash against") is soil or sediments deposited by a river or other running water. Alluvium is typically made up of a variety of materials, including fine particles of silt and clay and larger particles of sand and gravel.
