Illuvium
Illuvium is material displaced across a soil profile, from one layer to another one, by the action of rainwater. The removal of material from a soil layer is called eluviation. The transport of the material may be either mechanical or chemical. The process of deposition of illuvium is termed illuviation. It is a water-assisted transport in a basically vertical direction, as compared to alluviation, the horizontal running water transfer. The resulting deposits are called illuvial deposits. Cutans are a type of illuvial deposit.
Illuvium includes organic matter, silicate clay, and hydrous oxides of iron and aluminum.
Illuvial deposits of clays, oxides, and organics accumulate in subsoil as distinctive soil horizons classified as "B horizons" or "zones of illuviation".
Mechanical illuviation
When percolating rain water reaches a drier soil horizon, water from the suspension is removed by capillary action of microchannels, leaving fine deposits (cutans) oriented along percolation macrochannels.

Alive
by: Alli think of all the things we did
back when we were alive
i watched around the corner
as you rode up on your bike
i sat with you and held your hand
when movies made you cry
i think of all the things we did
back when we were alive
so many things to believe in
so much room to spread our wings
the joy we found in every little thing
i never will forget the day
you heard your brother died
i'm sorry now i couldnt help more
while you sat and cried
the letters that you sent me
that summer you were gone
i couldnt wait for your return
i couldnt wait that long
swimming holes to sing in
all the joy we found
open fields we'd go to dream
in every little thing
every little thing
i think of all the things we did
back when we were alive
and kissed you when you cried
when we made love i held you close
im sorry that it had to end
im sorry youre not mine
ill be with you until the end
in dreams of you tonight
ill be with you until the end
in dreams of you tonight
i think of all the things we did
