Answer:
developed from a transported parent material: sedimentary soils
The soil particles making up sedimentary soils may have been transported by wind or by water.
If the particles have been transported by wind, the soil develops from a loess, which is usually the best agricultural topsoil blown from other areas. It is common in rolling or hilly topography. Loess is often quite fertile and contains a fair amount of organic matter to great depths;
If the particles have been transported by water, the soil develops from an alluvium and the resulting sedimentary soil is an alluvial soil. Soil may be transported by moving water such as rain, a river or a tidal area. Sedimentation may occur in standing water such as a lake, swamp or sea. The water may be fresh or saline (inland, coastal or delta estuary). The transport may have taken place a long time ago, or it may still be taking place today.
Alluvial soils are of the greatest interest for fish culture. They are found in areas called sedimentation plains where the topography is usually slightly sloping or almost flat. This means that a minimum of earthwork is necessary for the construction of fish-ponds. The composition of alluvial soil often contains enough clay for water retention and dike construction. A water source is usually close by, but not always. Alluvial soils may be found in:
