What do you call the place where a river joins the sea?
You might be referring to a "delta." The delta is where a river empties into a body of water, typically the ocean or sea. The delta gets its name from the shape created by the branches of the river that spread out in a triangular form where they meet the larger body of water, as the Greek symbol for delta is a triangle. River deltas are notoriously fertile areas as the river's current transports many minerals downstream and deposits them in the soil in the area of the delta, this mineral rich soil is referred to as "silt." The fertility of river deltas made them popular areas for settlement by early civilizations.

What is the difference between a river delta and a rivers mouth?
The formation of a delta is the result of the material carried downstream by the river not being removed by the tide. Where there is little tidal difference a delta will form, especially if the river is major, such as the Nile, Mississippi or Danube for example. In other parts of the world large rivers do not form deltas, the Amazon, the St Lawrence & the Rhine. Compare in France the Estuary of the Garrone, in the Bay of Biscay & the Rhone in the Mediterranean.

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'.
Can rivers split into two or only join?
As tributaries form to enlarge the river, distributaries form if there is a delta, but few rivers divide compared to those that only have smaller rivers contributing to them. No, they dont separate into separate watercourses.
