The product of accretion is known as?

  1. Erosion

  2. Sedimentation

  3. Alluvium

  4. Avulsion

The correct answer is: Alluvium

Accretion is the process by which material accumulates through deposition, typically by wind or water. This material is then known as alluvium. Erosion is the opposite of accretion, as it refers to the wearing away or removal of material from a surface. Sedimentation is the process of depositing sediment, but this term is not specific to accretion. Avulsion typically refers to a sudden and severe change in the course of a river, which can result in the formation of new landforms, rather than the accumulation of material.
