That would be a delta, so-named because its triangular shape resembles the Greek letter Δ.
Famous ones can be found at the mouths of major rivers such as the Nile in Egypt, the Ganges in India and Bangladesh (the world's largest), and the Mississippi in New Orleans, Louisiana (United States).
A delta is a flat fan shaped piece of land at the mouth of a river. The word delta is D in Greek and this looks more or less like a large D, too.
its a delta!!
This is called a river delta.
A delta is a landform that is most likely made by the process of depositing sediments. Deltas are formed at the mouth of a river where the river's sediments are deposited as the river slows down and enters a larger body of water, such as a lake or an ocean. The accumulation of sediments over time creates a triangular-shaped landform with various channels and distributaries.
yes indeed. the can because due to all the eruptions the u shaped valley gets those round stones smoothed out and forms a v shaped valley
V-shaped mountain valleys are formed by the effects of running water. U-shaped mountain valleys are formed by the grinding action of moving glaciers.
silt This trianguar deposit of sediment where a river empties into an ocean is called a delta.
A good example would be the ones in Death Valley, California. An alluvial fan is basically a fan-like structure formed from the mouth of a flattened and spread out stream (it looks like a fan).

V-shaped valleys are commonly found in mountainous regions where rivers or streams have eroded the land over time. They are formed through the process of downcutting, where water gradually wears away the rock and sediment, creating a distinctive V shape in the landscape.
ofcourse no
A bend in a river shaped like a loop is called an oxbow. Oxbow lakes are formed when a meander is cut off from the main river channel, often due to erosion and sediment deposition.
An alluvial fan is a depositional feature which is formed when fast moving water comes out of a canyon, slows, and deposits the sediment it is carrying on a flat plain into a fan shaped structure.
A V-shaped valley is typically formed by the erosive forces of a river cutting through the landscape over time. The erosion is usually caused by the flow of water carrying sediment and rock particles downstream, gradually carving out the V-shaped profile of the valley.
The accumulation of sediment found along the shore of a lake or ocean is called a beach. Beaches are formed by the deposition of sand, gravel, and other sediments carried by waves and currents, often shaped by tides and weather patterns.
it is a delta at least in science class.
