Q. In a river course, what do "Alluvial fans" refer to?
Q. एक नदी प्रवाह तंत्र में, "जलोढ़ पंख " का क्या तात्पर्य है?
Alluvial fans and Delta have some similarities, yet some key differences.
The key difference is that Alluvia fans are formed away from the sea in the upper reaches of the river (i.e. not far away from its source). So, option (a) and (b) can be eliminated.
Process of formation of Alluvial fans: Water flowing from a higher level breaks down into foot slope plains of low gradient.
