A cone of debris deposited by running water at the mouth of canyon in an arid area is known as?

A cone of debris deposited by running water at the mouth of a canyon in an arid area is known as an "alluvial fan." These formations occur when water slows down as it exits the narrow canyon, allowing sediment to settle and accumulate. Alluvial fans are characterized by their fan-shaped appearance and are common in desert regions where flash floods can transport large amounts of sediment.


What is a cone of debris deposited by running water at the mouth of a canyon in an arid area is known as?

A cone of debris deposited by running water at the mouth of a canyon in an arid area is known as an alluvial fan. These formations occur when water flows out of a narrow canyon and spreads out, losing velocity and depositing sediment. Alluvial fans typically have a distinctive fan shape and are composed of various sizes of sediment, from coarse gravel to fine silt. They are common in dry regions where intermittent streams flow after rainfall events.


Can one tell if two diamonds came from the same mine?

There are some tests that a certified gemologist can conduct that can generally pinpoint the location or source of a diamond. Whether or not the diamonds came from the same 'mine', may be problematic, since many diamonds are harvested using techniques other than mining. For example, if water runs over the volcanic pipe that pushed the diamonds to the earth's surface and diamonds are washed downhill, then harvested as alluvial diamonds, the mined volcanic pipe may be substantially distant from the alluvial diamond find. But the source is the same.
