  • Understanding Transported Soil: Definition & Types
    Soil that has been moved away from its parent bedrock is called transported soil.

    Here's why:

    * Parent bedrock: This is the original rock from which the soil is formed.

    * Transported: This refers to the movement of soil material from its original location.

    There are different ways soil can be transported, leading to different types of transported soils:

    * Alluvial soil: Deposited by rivers and streams.

    * Loess: Wind-blown deposits of fine silt.

    * Glacial till: Deposited by glaciers.

    * Colluvial soil: Moved downslope by gravity.
