· Alluvial fans develop where streams issue from canyons onto adjacent valley floors and deposit sediments derived through the erosion of rocks upstream.
Alluvial fans are formed by constructive forces. They are created when sediments are deposited at the base of a mountain or hill as a result of flowing water carrying debris and depositing it in a fan-shaped pattern.
Slit deposits create landforms called alluvial fans. These landforms are formed where streams or rivers slow down, depositing sediment that spreads out like a fan. Alluvial fans are typically found at the base of mountains or hills.
An alluvial is sediment deposited at the mouth of a stream. An alluvial fan is when that sediment creates an arching fan shape when it is deposited. The fan shape is created when the stream's slope is suddenly and abruptly reduced. For example, when a mountain stream, which flows at a sharp angle, suddenly emerge onto a flatter surface.
Alluvial fans are typically formed at the base of a mountain or hilly terrain, where a river or stream carrying sediments suddenly slows down and deposits the sediments in a fan-shaped pattern. This process occurs in arid or semi-arid regions with high relief and limited vegetation to anchor the soil.
Deltas are formed by constructive erosion.
A bajada may be created. A bajada is a broad, gently sloping surface formed by the coalescing of alluvial fans.
A bajada is an alluvial plain formed at the base of a mountain by the coalescing of several alluvial fans.

No
The River Severn does not have an alluvial fan. Rivers that empty into estuaries do not have alluvial fans.
Alluvial fans are landforms created by sediment deposition at the base of a mountain, while deltas are landforms formed by deposition of sediment carried by a river where it meets a body of water. Both landforms are composed of sediment deposits, but alluvial fans are typically cone-shaped while deltas have a more complex shape with distributaries. Additionally, alluvial fans are typically found in arid or semi-arid regions, while deltas are common in areas where rivers meet oceans or lakes.
