Alluvial plain - English spelling: alluvial plain
A plain formed by river sedimentation, which continues to this day. In Japan, it is also used to mean a plain formed in the Holocene (alluvial epoch). Alluvial plains formed by river sedimentation are broadly divided into valley plains, alluvial fans, and deltas from upstream. In the latter sense, some alluvial plains are made up of marine deposits, lake deposits, and lagoon deposits from the Holocene (alluvial epoch) transgression.
