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 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 sediment itself is called silt, and it often is deposited at the mouth of rivers and forms a landform called a river delta.
Alluvial soil is carried and deposited from rivers, streams, and floodplains. It is formed by the erosion and weathering of rocks and minerals upstream, which are then transported and deposited by flowing water.
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.
Soil rich in minerals deposited by flooding rivers is called silt.
Soil deposited by water is known as alluvium. This type of soil is typically made up of silt, clay, sand, and gravel deposits that have been carried and deposited by streams, rivers, and other bodies of water.
Silt and Sediment.
Sand is deposited on beaches by a variety of natural processes, including erosion of rocks and cliffs, wave action breaking down rocks into smaller particles, and rivers and streams carrying sediments to the coastline. These sediments are then moved along the coast by longshore drift and deposited on beaches when the energy of the waves decreases.
Yes, fertile sediment can be considered alluvium. Alluvium refers to loose soil or sediment that has been deposited by rivers or running water, and fertile sediment can be carried and deposited by these processes.
