I study about fluvial terraces. However, resources related to this topic are limited. When I searched fluvial terraces in geomorphology books, I cannot find anything, but I find river terraces. My English is not good, so I am not sure fluvial terraces and river terraces are same. Do these two terms represent the same topic, please help me?

In English, the word fluvial comes from the Latin word for river.

Fluvial processes are processes associated with rivers or streams and the deposits and forms created by them.

River terraces and fluvial terraces are the same thing.
