It drops the material. This is called deposition :)
A delta is a triangular deposit of sediment at the end of a river or stream. It happens when the strong current of the river slows down and deposits the sediments it has been transporting.
Whenever the river slows down it starts to drop sediment. This usually happens when it meets the sea, unless it meanders slowly across a flood plain in its way.
it slows down
Well heavy earth material like sand slows down at the mouth on the river. It slows down at the mouth because at the source of the river is the fastest but as it is moving down the plain it is slowing down because of friction. Also because the eroded sand that is in the water is making the water heavier which means it will slow it down
Because water slows down and sediment drops to the bottom
An alluvial fan is a fan-shaped deposit that is created when a fast flowing river slows down. Alluvial fans develop where streams issue from canyons onto adjacent valley floors and deposit sediments derived through the erosion of rocks upstream.
As a river flow slows, the sediment starts to settle out. The water at the river's edge often has the lowest flow or movement so there will be more sedimentation.

A delta is when a stream or river reaches a large body of water, such as a lake or ocean or stream, it slows down. Most of the sediment drops out, forming a triangular- shaped deposit called delta.- 6th- grade :)
the river current slows down it drops of rocks and gets some dissolved materal it carries on down the river two a shore
Minerals deposited by a river are called silt.
