What are Alluvial Deposits – MyWaterEarth&Sky
The alluvial deposits category includes various landscapes and geological formations, like terrace deposits, which are remnants of older floodplains now positioned above the current river level due to the river's vertical erosion. Alluvial deposits are proof of our earth's dynamic and shifting nature, where lands are sculpted by water.
