What is alluvial deposition?
Alluvial sediment:is clay or silt or gravel carried by rushing streams and deposited where the stream slows down. Alluvial deposition refers to this process.by which alluvium is thus deposited.
What are the braided markings on the faces of alluvial fans?
The braided markings on alluvial fans are from erosion caused by braided streams. It is created by the meandering, combining, and separating of the waters as they flow over and around different landforms.
What are some topography words?
graph, map, place, site, relief, land, landform, contour, geomorphometry, surface, survey, geodata, streams, water, hill, forest, shading, elevation
Why are sediments deposited in an alluvial fan?
Alluvial fans form where water moving fast (a high energy state) and therefore carrying a lot of sediment of various sizes suddenly slows down (a low energy state) and therefore dumps most of the load it is carrying. They therefore develop where streams issue from canyons onto an adjacent valley floors.
What is the difference between a jet streams and global wind belts?
jet streams travel above global winds. might not be a straight forward answer, but its something.
What unusual pattern of the contour lines indicates the streams have flowed over the entire surface of the alluvial fans?
you stink is my answer
How are ephemeral streams and alluvial fans related?

What is the difference between fluvial and alluvial soil?
Fluvial soils are associated with streams and rivers. The Alluvial soil category is primarily composed of unconsolidated basin fill that has been deposited and then altered by water.
What is the difference between alluvial and reef gold?
Alluvial gold is found in the water and reef gold is found in rocks. Reef gold is worth more than alluvial gold. Hope this helps:)

What is Alluvial Soil carried and deposited from?
Alluvial soil comes from the floodplains, streams and rivers; most especially from fertile farmland. It is deposited in the delta or mouth of a river.
How are alluvial formed?
· Alluvial fans develop where streams issue from canyons onto adjacent valley floors and deposit sediments derived through the erosion of rocks upstream.

Where a stream leaves a mountain range is called a?
Where a stream leaves a mountain range is called a Alluvial Fan. An Alluvial Fan is the sediment the streams leave behind as it leaves the range.
