Once the depth of snow and ice reaches
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 sediment deposit called a windward slope forms when sediment is blown against an obstacle and settles behind it. This deposit is characterized by a gradual slope facing into the prevailing wind direction.
Glacial ice is the most probable agent of erosion that deposited unsorted sediments in deposit B. Glaciers can transport a wide range of sediment sizes and mix them together as they move, resulting in unsorted sediments.
The resulting deposit is called loess.
A delta is a deposit of soil that collects at the mouth of rivers. Deltas form when sediment-rich water flows into slower-moving or standing water, causing the sediment to settle and accumulate over time. Deltas are typically shaped like a triangle or fan, with multiple distributaries carrying sediment into the receiving body of water.

Bajadas are formed when sediment is eroded and carried downstream by flowing water, accumulating along the base of a mountain range or hill as a wide, sloping deposit. They are typically composed of alluvial fan material and are common in arid and semi-arid regions where flash floods are prevalent. Over time, the accumulation and deposition of sediment create the characteristic gently sloping structure of a bajada.
