When a stream empties into a body of water, it often creates a delta or an estuary. A delta forms at the mouth of the stream where sediment is deposited as the water slows down, building up land over time. An estuary, on the other hand, is a transitional area where fresh water from the stream mixes with salt water from the body of water, creating a unique ecosystem. These areas are typically rich in biodiversity and serve as important habitats for various species.

What is The land form often formed at the mouth of a heavily silted stream called?
The land form often formed at the mouth of a heavily silted stream is called a delta. This triangular-shaped area is created as the sediment carried by the stream is deposited when the water flow slows down upon entering a larger body of water, such as an ocean or a lake. Deltas are often fertile areas due to the rich soil deposited by the stream.
