The process of dropping sand, silt, or mud is called sedimentation. Sedimentation occurs when these particles settle out of suspension in water and accumulate on the bottom of a body of water or on land surfaces.
Soft mud is called "silt." Silt is fine-grained sediment that is smaller than sand particles and typically found at the bottom of bodies of water or in riverbeds.
Sediment is dirt, rocks, and sand carried by a river.
Some examples of silt include fine grains of sand, mud, and clay that are deposited by water or wind and typically found near river banks, deltas, and estuaries. Silt particles are larger than clay but smaller than sand.
Tiny pieces of rock are called 'grains' or 'particles'. These small fragments of rock can vary in size from sand grains to silt or clay particles.
The rock that is cemented mud, clay, or silt is called shale. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock composed of compacted and hardened mud or clay particles.

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.
The soil deposited at the mouth of a river is called silt.
Mud or silt.

Flat land near the edges of rivers formed by mud and silt deposited by floods is called a delta. There are several deltas around the world.
Tiny pieces of rock are called 'grains' or 'particles'. These small fragments of rock can vary in size from sand grains to silt or clay particles.
It is frozen silt called muck which is wet soft mud.
