How are alluvial fans deltas natural levees and moraines formed?
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.

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 an aluvial fan?
Alluvial FansWhere a stream flows out of a steep, narrow mountain valley, the stream suddenly becomes wider and shallower. The water slows down, Here sediments are deposited in an alluvial fan. An alluvial fan is a wide, sloping deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain range. As its name suggests, this deposit is shaped like a fan.

What types of canyons are there?
There are only a few types of canyons. These are river canyons, mountain canyons, and canyons that were formed by weathering and erosion. +++ Very few types indeed. One in fact! All canyons are formed by weathering & erosion; and all are or were river canyons irrespective of mountains. The requirements for a canyon or gorge to form are a high plateau catchment area feeding a large river for sufficiently long for it to cut back from a steep rim.
