Answer:

A fan shaped deposition made by their river at the foothills is called an alluvial plain/alluvial fan.

Explanation:

Alluvial plain is the fan shaped deposition that accumulates in the foothills and are generally rich in minerals. This deposition is mainly due to the transportation of the sediments through the stream. The deposition occurs mainly when the water in the stream interacts with the hills, mountains or steep canyons.
