It forms a beach.
Barrier reefs form parallel to the shoreline but are separated by a lagoon.

Alluvial sediments are those deposited by a river.

Sedimentation of transported weathered and eroded material is continuous, cyclical, or event based. New sediments are deposited on top of existing sediments, forming layers that may be visible in a sedimentary rock body.
A large amount of sediments deposited at the mouth of a river can form a delta. Deltas are landforms created by the accumulation of sediments carried by the river and deposited as the river's flow slows upon entering a body of water, such as a lake or ocean.
it is a delta
well first is weathering, then the sediments ,then erosion takes the sediments to a new place ,then they are deposited there for a new land form to come
Sediments such as pebbles, sand, and silt that are carried and eventually deposited by a river are known as alluvium. Over time, these sediments can accumulate and form features like riverbanks, floodplains, and deltas.
Sedimentary rock is formed from sediments deposited in bodies of water. Examples of sedimentary rocks that can form in this way include limestone, shale, and sandstone. These rocks are typically composed of particles that have been weathered, transported, and compacted over time.
Barrier islands form as a result of sediment deposited by waves and currents parallel to the shoreline. These islands act as a natural barrier, protecting the mainland from the full force of waves and storms. They also provide habitat for various plant and animal species.
