thought you were joking
because thats backwards....
"Accretion is the gradual and imperceptible addition of land to a parcel by the natural deposition of water borne sediments. It is the slow increase in one’s land occurring grain by grain. Reliction, which is the uncovering of submerged land by the recession of water, is legally treated as accretion even though the process is different."

Think about it...accretion is the inability to recognize the silt...either fast or slow...
"My land washed away...it went downstream over night"...
"But it settled on me...but you can identify each grain as yours"...
Fast Accretion...
Avulsion is rapid???
"I've lived here on this river all my life...I planted a garden...built a cabin"...
Over years and years...a chute cut behind my land...a point bar...deeper and deeper...slowly and imperceptually...the river changes course...a SLOW AVULSION...
I still own the cabin...the garden...and all of the fast accretion...

I'm not playing this game anymore, happy 4th
thought you were joking
the "imperceptible" part pertains to the ability to identify the 'land'.
If it washes off of you and settles onto me...and neither can identify it...weather it happens fast or slow...that is accretion/erosion...the boundary moves...
If it happens fast or slow...but we can still identify the land...remember the garden and cabin?...it is avulsion...and the boundary remains fixed...
Therefore...ergo...and therewith...(hold my beer and watch this)...
Fast Accretion and Slow Avulsion.
