Answer:
The place where a river enters a lake, larger river, or the ocean is called its mouth. River mouths are places of much activity. As a river flows, it picks up sediment from the river bed, eroding banks, and debris on the water. ... When large amounts of alluvium are deposited at the mouth of a river, a delta is formed.

- A river mouth is the point where a river meets another river, a lake/reservoir, a bay/gulf, a sea, or an ocean.
- Due to the slowing of the stream, which reduces the water's carrying capacity, sediments are frequently deposited near the river's mouth.
- River water can enter a receiving body in a number of ways.
- The relative density of a river compared to the receiving water, the earth's rotation, and any ambient motion in the receiving water, such as tides or seiches, all impact the river's velocity.
