This is known as an Alluvial Fan. Please see related links.
This is known as an alluvial fan, which forms as the stream exits the mountain and starts to slow down. As the stream velocity decreases, it drops the sediment it was carrying, creating a fan-shaped deposit of gravel, sand, and silt. This process helps to shape the surrounding landscape and can lead to the formation of fertile floodplains.
A deposit that forms where a river leaves a mountain range is called an alluvial fan. This fan-shaped deposit is created as the river slows down and deposits sediment and debris that it has carried from the mountains.
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.
