Fan shaped deposits of sediment that form on dry land?

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.

How do you calculate dry density from weight of wet sediment?

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.
