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.
