Areas where sediment is deposited along a river because the river overflowed are called?
Areas where sediment is deposited along a river due to overflow are called floodplains. These regions are typically characterized by rich, fertile soil, making them ideal for agriculture. Floodplains can be reshaped by the river's changing course and are essential for the ecosystem, providing habitats for various species. Additionally, they play a crucial role in managing floodwaters and maintaining river health.

What is the process in which sediment is deposited in layers is called?
The process in which sediment is deposited in layers is called sedimentation. This occurs when particles settle out of a transporting medium, such as water or wind, and accumulate over time to form distinct layers of sediment.
