alluvial sediment
Alluvial sediment refers to the loose and unconsolidated soil or sediment that has been eroded, reshaped by water in some form, and redeposited in a non-marine setting. It is typically transported and deposited by rivers and floods, forming alluvial landforms such as river banks, flood plains, and deltas. These sediments usually consist of clay, silt, sand, gravel, and other similar materials.
