Question

which feature is created by deposition from rivers?
○ rills
○ meanders
○ alluvial fans
○ gullies

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Rills: Formed by erosion (small channels from water runoff), not deposition.
• Meanders: Formed by erosion (lateral erosion of river banks), not deposition.
• Alluvial fans: Formed when a river flows out of a mountainous area onto a flat plain, and the sediment it carries is deposited, creating a fan - shaped deposit. This is a deposition feature.
• Gullies: Formed by erosion (deeper channels from water runoff), not deposition.

Answer:

alluvial fans
