How would you differentiate between glacial outwash streams and braided streams associated with an alluvial fan?
What will be an ideal response?
Alluvial fans contain sediment derived from weathering and erosion of nearby uplands, whereas outwash streams carry sediment eroded from the large area eroded by the glacier. So, the sediment grain types will be much more heterogeneous in outwash than in alluvial-fan sediments.
