What is the soil that is transported by gravity known as? |
Eolian Glacial Alluvial Colluvial |
Colluvial |
Soil transported by the gravitational force is called Colluvium soil. Under the gravitational force, the parent material moves down the slope. Water and wind act as secondary transportation agents responsible for the movement in some cases. Colluvium is: Heterogenous Unsorted material of different particle sizes Requires little abrasion to round the particles. |
