Alluvial Fans
Where a stream flows out of a steep, narrow mountain valley, the stream suddenly becomes wider and shallower. The water slows down, Here sediments are deposited in an alluvial fan. An alluvial fan is a wide, sloping deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain range. As its name suggests, this deposit is shaped like a fan.
