Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following landforms is formed by the deposition of sediment by rivers?
  • Step 1: Understand what deposition means. Deposition is when materials like sand and dirt are dropped off in a new place.
  • Step 2: Know what a river does. A river carries water and can also carry small pieces of land called sediment.
  • Step 3: Identify where a river meets a larger body of water, like an ocean or a lake. This is called the mouth of the river.
  • Step 4: Recognize that when the river reaches its mouth, it slows down and drops off the sediment it was carrying.
  • Step 5: Learn that this dropped-off sediment builds up over time and creates a landform called a delta.
