Sediment in rivers gets deposited as the river slows down. When a river reaches a lake or the sea, it quickly deposits much of its sediment. ... This may choke up the river channel, which then divides up into distributaries, between which swamps are formed.
As a river flows, it picks up sediment from the river bed, eroding banks, and debris on the water. The river mouth is where much of this gravel, sand, silt, and clay—called alluvium—is deposited. When large amounts of alluvium are deposited at the mouth of a river, a delta is formed.
Erosional landforms include V-shaped valleys, interlocking spurs, waterfalls and gorges. Meanders and oxbow lakes are formed from erosion and deposition. Depositional landforms include floodplains.
