What is a fan-shaped deposit of rock and soil?
A fan-shaped deposit of rock and soil is called an alluvial fan. It is formed when sediment is carried by flowing water and then deposited on a flat plain, typically found at the base of a mountain or hillslope. Alluvial fans are common in arid and semiarid regions.
What is fan shaped deposits of rock and soil?
Depends on the environment and mode of deposition. I think that you're thinking of an alluvial fan.
A triangular shaped sediment accumulation?
A triangular shaped sediment accumulation could indicate a delta formation, where sediment is deposited at the mouth of a river as it flows into a body of water. The sediment builds up over time, creating a triangular or fan-shaped landform. Deltas are important for providing habitats for wildlife and protecting coastlines from erosion.
What is a fan-shaped area at the mouth of the river?
The part of a river that takes up a fan-shaped form is called the Delta. The name delta was derived from the Greek letter Delta which looks like a fan.
Are fan shaped deposits of sediment called floodplains?
No, fan-shaped deposits of sediment are called alluvial fans. Floodplains are flat areas next to rivers that are covered in sediment during floods.
What is the fan like formation of a river called?
The fan-like formation of a river is called a "delta." Deltas form at the mouth of a river where it meets a body of water, such as an ocean or lake, and sediment carried by the river is deposited as the flow slows down. This creates a triangular or fan-shaped landform, often rich in biodiversity and fertile soil.

What is an alluval fan?
Alluvial means deposited by running water. An alluvial fan is a fan shaped mass of alluvium deposited as the flow of a river decreases in velocity.
