Compare and contrast alluvial fans and deltas.

1 answer:

3 0

Similarities :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.
