Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Illuviation is the process of depositing materials such as clays, silts, and dissolved chemicals in a lower soil horizon, which is typically the B horizon. This process occurs as water percolates down through the soil profile, carrying these materials from the upper layers (E horizon) into the B horizon, where they accumulate.
