A good example would be the ones in Death Valley, California. An alluvial fan is basically a fan-like structure formed from the mouth of a flattened and spread out stream (it looks like a fan).
An alluvial fan is a depositional feature which is formed when fast moving water comes out of a canyon, slows, and deposits the sediment it is carrying on a flat plain into a fan shaped structure.
No, an alluvial fan is a depositional feature which is formed when fast moving water comes out of a canyon, slows, and deposits the sediment it is carrying on a flat plain.

This is known as an Alluvial Fan. Please see related links.

Alluvial fans usually created as flowing water interact with mountains. It is a triangle-shaped deposit of sand, gravel and smaller pieces of sediment. There is also a type of alluvial fan that can be found underwater which is the subaqueous fan.
Alluvial fans are when a river slows and deposits sediment on a flatter plain. This would be caused by eroson.
The River Severn does not have an alluvial fan. Rivers that empty into estuaries do not have alluvial fans.

The alluvial fan deposited the river's sediment into the sea, creating a delta. As the glacier melted, an alluvial fan formed at the base of the mountain.
a fan-shaped accumulation of alluvial.
The bold parts are the differences:An alluvial fan is fan-shaped alluvial deposits created when fast flowing rivers slow down. A delta is a triangular area of alluvial deposits where a river divides before entering a large body of water.If you dont understand:An alluvial fan is just alluvial deposits in a fan shape. A delta is alluvian deposits in a triangular shape. Where and how they are created are totally different.Hope this helped (;
The mineral deposition in this alluvial fan is very unusual for this part of the continent.

No
An alluvial fan is a fan-shaped deposit that is created when a fast flowing river slows down. Alluvial fans develop where streams issue from canyons onto adjacent valley floors and deposit sediments derived through the erosion of rocks upstream.
Depends on the environment and mode of deposition. I think that you're thinking of an alluvial fan.
They both are fan shaped
Alluvial FansWhere 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.
