What is the triangular of land form by deposits at the mouth river in Louisiana called?
Delta
Alluvial tracts of land at mouth of river formed by river deposits?
Alluvial deposits are river/stream deposits, whether they are found at the mouth of the river or anywhere along its length. In some cases, the alluvial deposits at the mouth of a river can form a delta.If this is not what you wanted to know, please rephrase the question. As it stands, this is an incomplete sentence with a question mark at the end of it.
What do you call a deposit at the mouth of a river?
A deposit at the mouth of a river is called a delta. This land form is created because of the deposition of sediments carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth.
A large amount of sediments deposited at the mouth of a river form what?
It is called SILT.
What is the fine soil deposited at the mouth of a river?
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.
Do petroleum deposits form in lake and river sediments?
No.
What is an area of land roughly triangular in shape which form a river enters a lake or the sea?
The roughly triangular area formed where a river enters the sea or other body of standing water is called a delta. They are created when the river water deposits its sediment as the water spreads out at the mouth of the river.delta
Where do river deltas usually form?
At the mouth of a river.
Where do rivers and oceans meet?
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.
What is the fine mud carried by rivers called?
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.
What is the place where a river ends or empties into a larger body of water?
The mouth of the river is where it flows into a larger body of water such as a lake, ocean, sea. However, deltas usually form at the mouths of rivers from sediment being deposited over time. Don't get these two things confused. +++ The lowest, tidal reach of a river as it reaches the sea is called its 'estuary'.
Is a delta a river?
A river delta is the landform occurring at the river mouth, where the river meets the sea. It is largely a result of the silt brought down by the river system. The river spreads out in a fan shape into many channels called distributaries, which form outlets and islands. Notable Deltas are the Nile, Amazon and the Mississippi. Deltas are produced when rivers bring down sediment and deposits from the catchment area. These deposits form a chemical reaction with the seawater and different soils of the coast, coagulating into a clay which settles on the river bed. Deltas are only formed where there is high velocity of the river dumping into an almost tideless sea. The sediment is thus deposited over a wide area.
