Alluvium is a term used to describe a type of sedimentary DEPOSIT found on the EARTH's surface. It is composed of a mixture of SILT, clay, sand, gravel, and other materials that have been deposited by water or wind. The term alluvium is derived from the Latin word for 'FLOOD, ' and it is often found in areas that have been subject to flooding. Alluvium can also be found in areas where rivers have deposited their sediment over time, such as in river deltas. Alluvium is typically formed from the erosion of rocks, and it is often referred to as 'DRIFT' or 'geest.' Oozing is another term used to describe the slow movement of alluvium, which is usually caused by water or wind.
