deltas
These are called alluvial fans. They are typically composed of coarse sediment like sand and gravel, which is carried down mountainsides by fast-flowing streams and rivers and then spread out in a fan-like shape as the water loses energy and deposits the sediment.
An alluvial fan is typically formed at the base of a mountain or hilly area where a river or stream exits a narrow canyon or valley, and the water carrying sediments spreads out onto a flatter, open area. The fan shape is created as the water slows down and deposits the sediment it was carrying.
Depends on the environment and mode of deposition. I think that you're thinking of an alluvial fan.
Yes, tornadoes form over land. They typically develop from severe thunderstorms when warm, moist air collides with cool, dry air, creating the perfect conditions for swirling wind patterns to form a tornado.
Continental air masses are typically dry because they form over land, where there is limited moisture available for them to pick up. Additionally, as these air masses move away from the ocean and over land, they do not have a source of moisture to replenish their supply, resulting in dry conditions.

what land form is often found in dry areas

the land gets dry
To calculate dry density from the weight of wet sediment, you need to first determine the volume of the wet sediment. You can do this by dividing the weight of the wet sediment by the bulk density of the sediment. Once you have the volume of the wet sediment, you can then calculate the dry density by dividing the weight of the wet sediment by the volume of the wet sediment.
