Sediment accumulation is where sediment accumulates generally in the point of the lowest elevation. If sediment is in a river generally the sediment will accumulate at the mouth of the delta when entering the marine environment (proximal to distal).
Sediment is fine particles carried in a liquid... such as sand in a river. It gets carried along when the river is flowing swiftly, but if the water slwos down enough, such as in a lake, or at a dam, the sediment stops moving as swiftly as it had been and settles to the bottom of the waterway. This eventually builds up as time passes and more and more sediment is deposited. In the case of dams they can stop functioning properly, and in the case of lakes they can spread out over a larger area.
Particles of earth and other debris suspended in water (in a river for example) succumb to gravity as the speed of the water slows. This allows the particles to settle on the river bed - and build up a layer of sediment.
This would be a sedimentary rock, a more precise name would require the size of the sand and mud grains as well as the amount of sand and mud, and if there are any fossils, or siliceous or carbonate cementing of grains.
Basalt is eroded to sand by wind and rain. The sand accumulates in ocean sediment and experiences great pressures over time. After a sufficiently long time, and uplift reveals what had been sand and has become sandstone.

The formation of sandstone involves two principal stages. First, a layer or layers of sand accumulates as the result of sedimentation, and then the sand becomes sandstone when it is compacted by pressure of overlying deposits.
Sediments is the plural of sediment
Continental rise is what occurs where continental slope levels off and sediment accumulates. Continental rise can be shallow or deep and can occur at any level.

They have fleshy succulent stems- store water.. no leaves, tolerants grazing and sediment accumulates around it
The sediment that accumulates on the bottom of the river over time- dead leaves, organisms, and anything that can break down in water.

In the context of a cordillera, delta refers to a triangular deposit of sediment that forms where a river flows into a body of water, such as a lake or the ocean. This sediment accumulates at the mouth of the river, creating a fan-shaped landform that extends into the water.

The process that builds up the land in Tybee Island primarily includes sediment deposition from rivers, tides, and waves. As the natural forces bring sediment to the island, it accumulates, contributing to the growth and maintenance of the landmass over time. Additionally, vegetation such as marsh grasses and mangroves can also aid in trapping sediment and building up the land.
