English term

eluvial soils

English to Arabic Science Geology
Uganda also has a large columbium-tantalum resource associated with the country’s carbonatite intrusions, notably at Sukulu, in eastern Uganda, where pyrochlore occurs in eluvial soils.

Definition: Residual deposits of soil, dust, and rock particles produced by the action of the wind.

Please distinguish from the similar sounding word alluvial:
clay or slit or gravel carried by rushing streams and deposited where the stream slows down.

Do we have a name for the 'eluvial soils' in Arabic ?
