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 are formed by the deposition of sediments carried by rivers?
Alluvial deposits are formed by the deposition of sediments carried by rivers. These deposits typically consist of a mixture of gravel, sand, silt, and clay, and are often found in floodplains and deltas. Over time, these sediments can accumulate and form features such as alluvial fans, river terraces, and meanders.

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.
