Alluvium
A general term for geologic materials deposited by running water (e g , streams, rivers) The term applies to deposits of recent time that have not been consolidated and cemented into rock
Alluvium
fine silty material deposited by a river
Alluvium
Sand, gravel, silt, and clay deposited adjacent to modern streams and derived from erosion of surface sediments elsewhere in the watershed or from valley walls
Alluvium
A general term for detrital deposits made by stream processes on riverbeds, floodplains, and alluvial fans; esp a deposit of silt or silty clay laid down during times of flood The term applies to stream deposits of recent time It does not include subaqueous sediments of seas or lakes
Alluvium

Alluvium
sediment deposited by flowing rivers and consisting of sands and gravels
Alluvium
Loosely compacted gravel, sand, silt, or clay deposited by streams Amplification An increase in seismic-signal amplitude within some range of frequency as waves propagate through different earth materials The signal is both amplified and deamplified at the same site in a manner that is dependent on the frequency band The degree of amplification is also a complex function of the level of shaking such that, as the level of shaking increases, the amount of amplification may decrease Shaking levels at a site may also be increased by focusing of seismic energy caused by the geometry of the sediment velocity structure, such as basin subsurface topography, or by surface topography Amplitude Zero-to-peak value of any wavelike disturbance Arc Commonly refers to the chain of volcanoes (volcanic arc) that sometimes form inland and that are produced by subduction
Alluvium
Sand, clay, and other earth materials gradually deposited by streams along riverbeds and floodplains
Alluvium
