Where does a River erode sediment?
sediments are transported by ocean rift, streams, river currents, wind (air). they are deposited according to size. The largest sediments are deposited first. The sediments settle into the sand and are carried by the stream. Near the mouth of the stream where the water moves slowly the small sediments settle out. The larger sediments get carried by the river into the sea then the samller sediments. The sea water dissolved minerals and soak the sediments and cement together. This eventually forms sediments.
What is the wide mouth where the ocean tide meets the river current?
a Delta is a 'wetland' form that is created in the mouth of a river and is formed by sediments carried down by the river and deposited in its mouth. Over millions of years this can form a large flat area, or a tidal mouth, which is covered by the tidal flow of the sea
