The yearly increase in runoff caused by spring meltwater, or by monsoon rains, are what trigger flooding in river basins. The year-round processes of erosion and sediment transport are what form the characteristic plains and deltas, as silt carried down the river drops out of the water when it tops its banks, or when the water slows in velocity, as at the mouth of a river.
