delta
The soil brought down by the river is called "alluvium." It consists of sediments such as sand, silt, and clay that are deposited along the river's banks and floodplains.
It is called a River Delta.
Long ridges of sediments alongside the channel of a river are called levees. They are created by the deposits which are made when a river overflows its banks.
Sediment is dirt, rocks, and sand carried by a river.
The sediments are called silt or alluvium. The land formed from these sedimants where the river meets the ocean is a delta.
sediments
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.
A landform created when a river reaches a large body of water and deposits sediments is called a delta. Deltas are typically triangular or fan-shaped and form where the river's velocity decreases, causing it to deposit the sediments it has been carrying.
A river delta.
That is called the river's mouth. A delta could form there from the sediments settling there do to the river slowing down or stopping.
