We call this a delta since it is somewhat shaped liked a D or triangle.
Delta referred to as the triangular-shaped body of water that forms where a streams enters a larger body of water.
silt This trianguar deposit of sediment where a river empties into an ocean is called a delta.
A meander. <-------NovaNet wrong your answer miss or mister novanet ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The absolutely best answer is "a delta " cause a delta is a n accumulation of sediment formed where a stream enters a lake or ocean....:-)hismejohn
This is known as an alluvial fan, which forms as the stream exits the mountain and starts to slow down. As the stream velocity decreases, it drops the sediment it was carrying, creating a fan-shaped deposit of gravel, sand, and silt. This process helps to shape the surrounding landscape and can lead to the formation of fertile floodplains.
A deposit of sediment that forms on the inside of a stream meander is known as a point bar. As water flows around the meander, the velocity decreases on the inside bend, causing sediment to settle and accumulate. Over time, this buildup can create a small, sandy or gravelly landform that may support vegetation and alter the stream's flow dynamics. Point bars are important for habitat diversity and can indicate changes in the river's sediment transport processes.
A stream deposits material when its velocity decreases, causing sediment to settle out of the water and accumulate on the streambed. This can occur when the stream widens, becomes shallower, or encounters an obstacle that slows its flow. The deposited material forms features like bars, deltas, and floodplains.
No. A delta forms when a stream enters a standing body of water, usually the ocean. Those conditions do not exist on Mount St Helens.
A triangle forms the cross-section of a triangular prism.

In the context of a cordillera, delta refers to a triangular deposit of sediment that forms where a river flows into a body of water, such as a lake or the ocean. This sediment accumulates at the mouth of the river, creating a fan-shaped landform that extends into the water.
