To do with rivers, or made by rivers. A technical word used by , , and engineers when they talk about how rivers shape the land — 'fluvial erosion' is the wearing away of rock by a river, 'fluvial deposits' are the sand and stones a river drops as it slows down, 'a fluvial plain' is flat land built up by a river over a long time. You will meet it in textbooks, research papers, and environmental reports, almost never in speech. In ordinary English we just say 'river' as a describing word: 'river mud', 'river valley'. So think of 'fluvial' as the specialist's word for that.
河流的、河成的(地理/地質術語,如河流侵蝕、河積平原)
組成From Latin 'fluvius', a stream, which comes from 'fluere', to flow, plus '-al' meaning 'relating to'. So: relating to flowing water.
