What are the benefits of terraced fields?
The terraces function as dams by holding rainwater, which slowly seeps underground and then gently flows into the rivers without flooding them. At the same time, the terraces serve as filters that purify the water.
Is an alluvial fan the same name for a delta?
No, Sediments deposited where a river flows into an ocean or lake builds up a land form called a delta. An alluvial fan is a wide, sloping deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain range.
What are formed by the deposition of sediments carried by rivers?
Alluvial deposits are formed by the deposition of sediments carried by rivers. These deposits typically consist of a mixture of gravel, sand, silt, and clay, and are often found in floodplains and deltas. Over time, these sediments can accumulate and form features such as alluvial fans, river terraces, and meanders.
What is the difference between alluvial SOIL and mountain soil?
Alluvial soil is the debris/talus from weathering/erosion of mountain rocks. If the mountain rock is granite, the alluvial is the breakdown components of it which are clay, silicon and mica sand. This so called alluvial soil will be deposited around foothills and perhaps further down if acted by river system. My take on this one : ....By the same token the mountain soil should be the "in situ" weathered/eroded mountain rocks which have not been transported away from the mountain yet.
Why when a river flows out of a steep an alluvial fan forms?
An alluvial fan forms when a river flows out of a steep gradient and enters a flatter area, causing a reduction in its velocity. This decrease in speed leads to the deposition of sediment that the river was carrying, as it can no longer support the same load. Over time, these sediments accumulate in a fan-shaped pattern, creating the characteristic structure of an alluvial fan. This process is driven by the river's transition from erosion to deposition as it interacts with the surrounding landscape.
How has various east Asian countries might provide food for their populationdespite their limited farmlands?
They can cut terraces for more land or use double seeding. They can also use aquaculture. Terraces - are like ledges on a mountain side Double seeding - growing two different crops on the same land in a single year aquaculture - sea farming

Can one tell if two diamonds came from the same mine?
There are some tests that a certified gemologist can conduct that can generally pinpoint the location or source of a diamond. Whether or not the diamonds came from the same 'mine', may be problematic, since many diamonds are harvested using techniques other than mining. For example, if water runs over the volcanic pipe that pushed the diamonds to the earth's surface and diamonds are washed downhill, then harvested as alluvial diamonds, the mined volcanic pipe may be substantially distant from the alluvial diamond find. But the source is the same.
