The land area that includes soil carried downstream by a river and deposited at the rivers mouth is called a delta. The delta is also where the river enters the ocean or lake.

soil flow
The sediment itself is called silt, and it often is deposited at the mouth of rivers and forms a landform called a river delta.
It is first deposited by rivers. Then it is carried by waves form the ocean floor to the beach.
Soil rich in minerals deposited by flooding rivers is called silt.
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 soil or sediments itself is called silt, and the landform that is often created at the mouths of rivers is called a river delta. Sand bars are also created in rivers and other waterways by deposited silt.
The deposition of a rock is defined as how it is deposited somewhere. Most rocks are deposited by being carried in rivers, flash flooding, rainstorm runoffs, and even glaciers.
The soil that is deposited by a river to form landforms such as river bars and river deltas is called silt. A river delta is the name of the landform that is created the mouth of a river.
Silt and Sediment.
A "Delta", so-called because of the tendency of the 'channels' created by hydrologic soil deposition to frequently vary their courses due to creation of impedences to linear flow caused by precipitation of the colloidally-suspended particles of soil which fall out of suspension as the velocity of the water is reduced, raising the floor of the channels, thus forcing the flow to seek an easier [more lateral] route. "Delta" is used in a mathematical sense, meaning "variation".
