What is the soil that is transported by gravity known as?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
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.
