How is a river channel formed?

What is the lower parts of rivers when they run into the sea called?
this part of a river is called the mouth of a river because it opens up into the sea and while it is doing that it is groing wider and wider and wider. sometimes it douesn't have to be running into the sea it could be a lake that then joins onto another river or another wide or large water area like that.
Is the Amazonian River wider than the River Nile?

How do streams get wider?
a stream gets wider when it gets older and the water erodes the bed of the river to make it wider
Describe the cross profile of a river's lower course?
As a river continues its journey towards the sea, the valley cross section continues to become wider and flatter with an extensive floodplain either side of the channel. The river erodes laterally and deposition also becomes important. By the time it reaches the lower course the river is wider and deeper and may contain a large amount of suspended sediment.
Is The pressure of water in a river greater at points where the river narrows than where the river is wider?
yes
What is the part of the river that gets wider nearer to the sea called?
The river delta.
Is a delta the place where river water always flows out?
A delta in this context is an especially fertile region caused by the collection of silts at a river mouth, where the river spreads so it is shallower but wider. Its name comes from the typical shape; a triangle, which represents the Greek letter delta.
How does a river's bank become wider?
When a river flows, particles within the water wear away the sides of the river bank. This happens as they meander (when a river curves around corners) this causes water to push on the outer sides and push even more, wearing away in great curves. They can, however, get wider by weakening the banks. This however, depends on the circumstances, amount of rainfall, soil pH and other factors.
How does a deep fast river become slower and shallower?
In a river's lower reaches, where the slope is level and the banks wider apart, the flow is able to slow down as the water is able to spread out.
