idon'tknow why are you asking me
A triangular-shaped feature of deposits at the mouths of many rivers is called a delta. It usually is in the shape of what is called an alluvial fan.
Delta
Depends on the environment and mode of deposition. I think that you're thinking of an alluvial fan.
Alluvial Fan
Alluvial soil comes from the floodplains, streams and rivers; most especially from fertile farmland. It is deposited in the delta or mouth of a river.
The bold parts are the differences:An alluvial fan is fan-shaped alluvial deposits created when fast flowing rivers slow down. A delta is a triangular area of alluvial deposits where a river divides before entering a large body of water.If you dont understand:An alluvial fan is just alluvial deposits in a fan shape. A delta is alluvian deposits in a triangular shape. Where and how they are created are totally different.Hope this helped (;
An alluvial fanA delta on dry land is called an alluvial fan.

The two landforms created from deposits by rivers are, ALLUVIAL FANS & DELTAS. (^.^) glad to help merry Xmas 12-20-11
alluvial plain, coastal plain, delta, delta plain.

Alluvial deposits are river/stream deposits, whether they are found at the mouth of the river or anywhere along its length. In some cases, the alluvial deposits at the mouth of a river can form a delta.If this is not what you wanted to know, please rephrase the question. As it stands, this is an incomplete sentence with a question mark at the end of it.
The Mississippi Delta technically is not a delta but part of an alluvial plain. The links below will give the details.
This deposit is called a "delta".
The alluvial fan deposited the river's sediment into the sea, creating a delta. As the glacier melted, an alluvial fan formed at the base of the mountain.
