Q. What kind of depositional landforms are formed when streams flowing from higher levels break into foot slope plains of low gradient ?

  • (A) Point bars
  • (B) Flood plains
  • (C) Alluvial fans
  • (D) Natural levees
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) Alluvial fans
Explanation: A point bar is a depositional feature made of alluvium that accumulates on the inside bend of streams and rivers below the slip-off slope. A floodplain is an area of land adjacent to a stream or river which stretches from the banks of its channel to the base of the enclosing valley walls and which experiences flooding during periods of high discharge. Alluvial fans are depositional landforms which are formed when streams flowing from higher levels break into foot slope plains of low gradient.
