Topic: Alluvial soil

	Alluvium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Even small streams make alluvial deposits, but it is in the flood plains and deltas of large rivers that large, geologically-significant alluvial deposits are found.
		Alluvial deposits often contain valuable ores such as gold and platinum and a wide variety of gemstones.
		The alluvial mud annually deposited by the Nile has enabled the Egyptians to grow crops since at least the 4th millennium BC without artificial fertilization.

		Soil landscapes are areas of land that have recognisable and specifiable topographies and soils, that are capable of presentation on maps, and can be described by concise statements (Northcote 1978).
		Soil materials are three dimensional soil entities that have a degree of homogeneity and lateral continuity (Atkinson 1993).
		Soil material numbers may be missing where soil materials have been previously described for the same soil landscape on an adjacent map but are not sufficiently common on the current map sheet to be described in full.

		Alluvial Pan or Alluvial Cone: Sediments deposited in a characteristic fan or cone shape by a mountain stream as it flows on to a plain or flat open valley.
		Gleyed: A soil condition resulting from gleization which is manifested by the presence of neutral gray, bluish or greenish colors through the soil matrix or in mottles (spots or streaks) among other colors.
		Soil Amendment/Soil Conditioner: Soil additive which stabilizes the soil, improves resistance to erosion, increases permeability to air and water, improves texture and resistance of the surface to crusting, eases cultivation or otherwise improves soil quality.

		Alluvial soil is also found in the slightly higher areas above the flood plain covering a greater part of the Terai.
		Soils of the Churia hills are very young and coarse, and are dry for most of the year.

		Soils have since been developing in the transported materials left by the glacier.
		The area is very flat, as you might expect the bottom of a lake to be, and the soils are very high in clay because the coarser sand and silt deposits were dropped near the shore.

		An alluvial soil, seen in the cutting of an embankment, is featureless, but it also lacks uniformity, for it is the result of a series of irregular floods carrying their silt hither and thither in no regimented way.
		Nature's way of soaking these soils in arid countries is precisely the same as that by which she forms them, namely, by an annual overflow of the river.

		Soils characteristic of wet environments are mapped in many of these valleys, and the few data available on depth to ground water indicate shallow ground-water levels.
		Soils are histosols, aquic entisols or mollisols and are mapped as Correra, Venice, Staten, Egbert, Ryde, Burns and Roberts soil series of Cosby (1941, in Atwater, 1982).
		Alluvial fan surfaces are steepest near their apex at the valley mouth, and slope gently basinward, typically with gradually decreasing gradient.

	Tied-Back Excavations in Alluvial Soil of Taipei (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The measured lateral pressure diagrams for these tied-back excavations are close to the summation diagrams of groundwater pressure and lateral pressure calculated from the method of Terzaghi and Peck in 1967 or Tschebotarioff in 1973 for sandy soil but with a minor difference.
		The dominant sandy soil layer and groundwater pressure played a major role in determining the anchor load diagrams.
		The measured lateral wall movement for these tied-back excavations is found to be similar to that of cross-lot braced excavations in alluvial soil of Taipei both in magnitude and in profile.

		Safe storage of radioactive waste buried in an arid alluvial soil requires extensive site characterization of the physical process influencing moisture movement which could act as a transport medium for the migration of radionuclides.
		Temperature gradients are substantially responsible for vapor transport by preferentially sorting water-vapor molecules from the surrounding air by using the soil as a molecular sieve.
		Adsorbed and capillary water vapor pressure increases in response to a temperature increase and releases additional water to the soil pore atmosphere to be diffused away.

	ALLUVIAL FANS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Desert soils are formed over thousands and millions of years, as the major mountain ranges are eroded by "weathering" - a combination of rain, wind, alternate freezing and thawing and chemical processing.
		The debris of fallen rocks and finer particles accumulates at the base of the mountains and is "sorted" naturally as rainwater carries the smaller particles downwards into the valley floors, creating the gravels, sands and silts of the lowland deserts, and leaving the larger fragments further up the mountain canyons.
		Organic matter from the dead remains of these organisms stabilises the soil and also acts as a sponge to hold water, so that ultimately higher plants can become established.

		The Ashport alluvial aquifer consists of 13.1 meters of surface soil and upper and lower buried paleosols overlying Permian shale in Payne County.
		However, groundwater recharge and transport of chemicals to the aquifer during precipitation events depended on antecedent moisture conditions, so that amount of rainfall alone was not a good predictor of nitrate-N transport to the aquifer.
