A subaqueous fan is a fan-shaped deposit formed beneath water (similar to deltas or terrestrial alluvial fans), and are commonly related to glaciers and crater lakes.
Subaqueous fan deposits are generally described as coarse to fine gravel and/or sand, with variable texture and sorting.
Famous quotes containing the word fan:
“Being a [Chicago] Cubs fan prepares you for life—and Washington.”
—Hillary Rodham Clinton (b. 1947)
