the thickest accumulation of sediment on the ocean floor is at the CONTINENTAL SLOPES AND RISES. :)

This accumulation of sediment is known as a delta. Deltas form when the river slows down upon reaching the ocean, causing sediment to settle and create a fan-shaped landform. The Mississippi River delta is one of the largest and most well-known deltas in the world.
Marsh formation can take thousands of years as it involves the accumulation of plant material in waterlogged areas. Factors such as water level, sediment accumulation, and plant growth rate all contribute to the time it takes for a marsh to form. Generally, a few millimeters of sediment accumulation per year can contribute to the gradual development of a marsh ecosystem.
The two possible sources of sediment that fills a geosyncline are erosion from nearby landmasses and the accumulation of marine sediments from adjacent oceanic areas. Erosion processes can transport material from mountains and highlands into the geosyncline, while marine sediments may come from the remains of organisms, as well as from river runoff and continental shelf deposits. Both sources contribute to the thick layers of sediment characteristic of geosynclinal basins.

the deposition or accumulation of sediment
it is a delta at least in science class.

A triangular shaped sediment accumulation could indicate a delta formation, where sediment is deposited at the mouth of a river as it flows into a body of water. The sediment builds up over time, creating a triangular or fan-shaped landform. Deltas are important for providing habitats for wildlife and protecting coastlines from erosion.
A delta is a triangular-shaped sediment accumulation at the mouth of a river where it meets a body of water, such as an ocean or lake. As the river's flow slows down upon entering the larger body of water, it deposits sediment it has been carrying, creating the delta over time.
Thick layers of fine sediment collect on them
sediment carried by rivers as they flow into a body of water, typically an ocean or a lake. This sediment builds up over time, forming the distinctive triangular shape of a delta.
