WHAT DOES ELUVIUM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Eluvium

In geology, eluvium or eluvial deposits are those geological deposits and soils that are derived by in situ weathering or weathering plus gravitational movement or accumulation. The process of removal of materials from geological or soil horizons is called eluviation or leaching. There is a difference in the usage of this term in geology and soil science. In soil science, eluviation is the transport of soil material from upper layers of soil to lower levels by downward precipitation of water across soil horizons, and accumulation of this material in lower levels is called illuviation. In geology, the removed material is irrelevant, and the deposit is the remaining material. Eluviation occurs when precipitation exceeds evaporation. A soil horizon formed due to eluviation is an eluvial zone or eluvial horizon. In a typical soil profile, the eluvial horizon refers to a light-colored zone located either at the lower part of the A horizon or within a distinct horizon below the A, where the process is most intense and rapid.

Definition of eluvium in the English dictionary
