Explanation

A bajada is an extensive aggradational piedmont alluvial plain found in desert regions at the base of mountains. It forms through the coalescence of multiple alluvial fans created by streams emerging from mountain canyons, creating a continuous gently sloping surface. Unlike isolated alluvial fans, bajadas cover broad areas and are characteristic of arid landscapes.
