Two Contrasted Types of Alluvial Deposit: with an Illustration from the Rheidol Valley, Cardiganshire
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
In the lower parts of its course a river deposits material derived from the upper parts, this deposition being due to loss of velocity. As a deduction it seems to follow that this alluvial deposit (using the term “alluvial” in a rather wide sense) should occur as two strongly contrasted types as regards size of particles.
