Answer:

a delta

Step-by-step explanation:

he 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.
