An outwash plain is formed near glacial areas. The glacier melts and loses not only water, but solid deposits it has picked up over time. The deposits are carried away with the meltwater and deposited over a broad plain. The larger solid deposits like boulders are typically found near the glacier, while smaller deposits such as silt can be found at a fair distance from the glacier.
