Rock fan - rock fan
|
A fan-shaped bedrock landform that develops on the edge of a mountain in its late or advanced stage. It is formed by lateral river erosion in the intermediate area between the area of intense mountain incision and the depositional area of the basin. A thin layer of gravel often remains on the bedrock. It is similar to a rock bed and tends to develop in arid areas.
