Fig. 1: Two types of sedimentary systems forming trough mouth fans.
From: Meltwater sediment transport as the dominating process in mid-latitude trough mouth fan formation
a Glacigenic debris flow dominated model implying temporarily stored sediment (glacial wedge) and non-disintegrating sediment transport. b Meltwater dominated model implying continuous channelized sediment transport in water-rich flows and surface plumites. Arrows indicating glacial meltwater are conceptual and not absolute values.
