Sediment accumulation is where sediment accumulates generally in the point of the lowest elevation. If sediment is in a river generally the sediment will accumulate at the mouth of the delta when entering the marine environment (proximal to distal).
Enough sediment accumulates in subduction zones where one tectonic plate is pushed beneath another, causing the sediment to be compressed and uplifted to form mountain ranges. This process is known as orogenic activity.
When a glacier melts it deposits the sediment it eroded from the land, creating various landforms.
Yes, sand bars are an example of deposition. They form when sediment is deposited by the movement of water, usually in rivers or along coastlines. Over time, the sediment accumulates and forms a bar of sand.
Terrigenous sediment, which consists of material eroded from the continents such as sand, silt, and clay, dominates the seafloor adjacent to continents. This sediment is transported to the ocean by rivers, wind, and glaciers, and accumulates near the continental margins. It is one of the most common types of sediment found in the world's oceans.
The bottom of a valley is called the valley floor. It is typically the lowest point in the valley and where most of the water and sediment accumulates.

Delta
Point Bar
A continental rise forms where the continental slope levels off, and sediment accumulates due to gravity transporting sediments downslope from the slope above. This is a gentle accumulation of sediments deposited by turbidity currents, rivers, and other geological processes at the base of the slope.
They have fleshy succulent stems- store water.. no leaves, tolerants grazing and sediment accumulates around it

The sediment that accumulates on the bottom of the river over time- dead leaves, organisms, and anything that can break down in water.
