Sediment that originates from a stream.

Material deposited in an alluvial environment, typically detrital sediments that are poorly sorted.

Sediments deposited by erosional processes, usually by streams.

"matter deposited by flowing water," 1660s, from Medieval Latin alluvium, neuter of alluvius "washed against," from Latin alluere "wash against," from ad- "to, again [..]

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 (such as in a b [..]

gravel, sand, and smaller materials deposited by flowing water.

Alluvium is loose gravel, sand, silt, or clay deposited by current or past streams.

n. a deposit of sand, mud, etc., formed by flowing water; alluvial - adj.

Alluvium is a deposit made 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 sedime [..]

sediment transported by water, usually river or stream water.

General term for deposits of clay, silt, sand, gravel, or other particulate material deposited by a stream or other body of running water in a streambed, on a flood plain, on a delta, or at the base of a mountain.

river deposits found either on the floodplain or historic point-bars.

A general term for clay, silt, sand, gravel or similar unconsolidated material deposited by a stream or other body of running water.

Sediments deposited by erosion processes, usually by streams.

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, on a flood plain, on a delta, or at the base of a mountain.

(n) - the deposits made by a stream or a river

biology/geology - materials and sediment deposited by flowing water

Material such as clay, silt, sand, and gravel deposited by modern rivers and streams.

Sediments deposited by erosion processes, usually by streams.

The name for any material deposited by a river. (Silt is tiny material carried by running water)

Alluvium refers to materials deposited by rivers. It includes sand, clay, or mud deposited as sediment that has carried by and deposited from running water on riparian land.

(n) clay or silt or gravel carried by rushing streams and deposited where the stream slows down

Sand, gravel, and silt deposited by rivers and streams in a valley bottom.

Sand, gravel, and silt deposited by rivers and streams in a valley bottom.

Sand, mud, and other sediments deposited on land by streams.

Sediment deposited by flowing water.

Unconsolidated bits of rocks and minerals in secondary deposits that form from the action of running water.

a deposit of sand, mud, etc., formed by flowing water.

Sediments deposited by erosional processes, usual by streams.

Origin: L, neut. Of alluvius. See Alluvious. <geology> Deposits of earth, sand, gravel, and other transported matter, made by rivers, floods, or other causes, upon land not permanently submerged beneath the waters of lakes or seas. (01 Mar 1998)

Sediments deposited by erosional processes, usually by streams.

sediments deposited by erosional processes, usually by streams.

soil, clay, silt or gravel deposited by flowing water as it slows in a river bed, delta, estuary or flood plain

Sediments deposited by erosional processes, usually by streams.

A general term for unconsolidated material (e.g. clay, silt, sand, gravel) deposited from running water. Often a sorted or semi-sorted sediment in the bed of a stream or on its floodplain or delta. The deposit may be in the form of an alluvial fan.

The gradual increase of the earth on a shore of an ocean or bank of a stream resulting from the action of the water (from the Latin, alluvius, from alluere, "to wash against").
