Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An alluvial fan is a landform that is created when water exits a narrow channel, such as a canyon, and loses velocity. The sediment that the water was carrying is deposited at the base of the fan, creating a fan-shaped landform. Meander scars are created by the erosion of the outer bank of a meander loop, while a delta is created at the mouth of a river as it deposits sediment into a body of water. Alluvial terraces are created by the lateral erosion of a river, resulting in a flat area on either side of the river.
