Valley
A deposit that forms where a river leaves a mountain range is called an alluvial fan. This fan-shaped deposit is created as the river slows down and deposits sediment and debris that it has carried from the mountains.
Alluvial fan.
Similar:Both alluvial fans and deltas deposit sediment.Difference:A delta forms when a river empties into a larger body of water. An alluvial fan forms on land where a river emerges from a mountainous area and flows out onto a more gently sloping plain. The decrease in slope causes the river to decelerate and deposit sediment, forming an alluvial fan.-Timir SarkerSchool#5
If the sediment is saturated, it means it is filled with water, which leaves no room for free-standing surface water on top. When sediment is saturated, all available pore spaces are already occupied by water, so surface water cannot collect on top of it.
Moraines are formed by the deposition of glacial debris as a glacier moves and erodes the land. As the glacier melts, it leaves behind ridges and mounds of unsorted sediment. The size and shape of a moraine can vary depending on the glacier's movement and the type of sediment deposited.

No, Sediments deposited where a river flows into an ocean or lake builds up a land form called a delta. An alluvial fan is a wide, sloping deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain range.
