Here's why:
* Colluvium: This term refers to the loose, unconsolidated material that accumulates at the base of slopes due to gravity. It can be a mixture of rocks, soil, and other debris.
* Colluvial soil: When soil develops directly on this colluvium, it is termed colluvial soil. These soils often have a poorly developed profile and can be quite variable in texture and composition depending on the source material and the slope.
