Major characteristics of Alluvial Soils are:-
1)These are of Transported origin.
2)Alluvial soil as a whole is very fertile.
3)According to their age, these soils have been classified into 2 types:-
~Old Alluvium or Bhangar Soil
~New Alluvium or Khaddar Soil
4)These soils contain adequate proportion of Potash, Lime and Phosphoric acid, which are ideal for the growth of crops like Sugarcane, etc.
1. It is fan shaped
2. They are often found in deserts

An alluvial fan is a deposit where a fast flowing stream slows down, creating a fan shape
Deltas; alluvial fans.
The braided markings on alluvial fans are from erosion caused by braided streams. It is created by the meandering, combining, and separating of the waters as they flow over and around different landforms.
Alluvial fans are triangular deposits of sediment called alluvium. These fans occur when fast-moving water is released from the confines of a river or stream bank and then flows over a wider plain.
Alluvial fans are when a river slows and deposits sediment on a flatter plain. This would be caused by eroson.
A Secondary landform- is a landform created by the erosion and weathering by water, wind, and ice. Some examples are alluvial fans, floodplains, and deltas
