In the mountains youcan get a lot of two things, rocks and sediments produced from the break downof those rocks. In the foreground and in the background around the feet of themountains you can see two big piles. These are called alluvial fans. It isbasically a dump of sediments that was flushed down the small valleys into abig valley. What runs between these two alluvial fans is a major river which isa conveyor belt of the sediment that slowly moves it down the valley, down themountains, down the floodplains and eventually into the ocean. See it as a highwayfor moving of sediment.Nubra River, Himalaya. -- source link
