Till vs. Alluvium — What's the Difference?

Until.

Alluvium (from the Latin alluvius, from alluere, "to wash against") is loose clay, silt, sand, or gravel that has been deposited by running water in a stream bed, on a floodplain, in an alluvial fan, or in similar settings. Alluvium is also sometimes called alluvial deposit.

Till or glacial till is unsorted glacial sediment. Till is derived from the erosion and entrainment of material by the moving ice of a glacier.

Sediment deposited by flowing water, as in a riverbed, flood plain, or delta. Also called alluvion.
