Illuvium is material displaced across a soil profile, from one layer to another one, by the action of rainwater. The removal of material from a soil layer is called eluviation. The transport of the material may be either mechanical or chemical. The process of deposition of illuvium is termed illuviation. [1]
At the same time, the term "alluvium" came to mean all sediment deposits due to running water on plains. The definition gradually expanded to include deposits in estuaries, coasts, and young rock of marine and fluvial origin. [8] Alluvium and diluvium were grouped as colluvium in the late 19th century. "Colluvium" is now generally understood as ...
Alluvium – Loose soil or sediment that is eroded and redeposited in a non-marine setting; Colluvium – Loose, unconsolidated sediments deposited at the base of a hillslope; Eluvium – End product of rock weathering; Giant current ripples – Depositional forms in channeled scablands; Illuvium – Material displaced across a soil profile
Colluvium (also colluvial material or colluvial soil) is a general name for loose, unconsolidated sediments that have been deposited at the base of hillslopes by either rainwash, sheetwash, slow continuous downslope creep, or a variable combination of these processes.

A soil horizon formed due to eluviation is an eluvial zone or eluvial horizon. In a typical soil profile, the eluvial horizon refers to a light-colored zone located (depending on context and literature) either at the lower part of the A horizon (symbol: Ae) or within a distinct horizon (E horizon) below the A, where the process is most intense ...
