🌊 ACCRETION vs. AVULSION 🌊
These two real estate terms can be easy to mix up—but they’re important to know for your exam!
📈 ACCRETION
Land is gradually added over time by natural forces, such as soil or sediment being deposited by water.
➡️ Think: SLOW & STEADY = ACCRETION
⚡ AVULSION
Land is suddenly changed or lost because of a natural event, such as a flood or a sudden change in the course of a river.
➡️ Think: SUDDEN CHANGE = AVULSION
🎯 EXAM TIP:
Accretion = gradual
Avulsion = sudden
