The answer is "Delta"



Delta is a flat triangular shaped land formed when a river carries and deposits

sediment at its mouth.


This usually happens where a river is entering an ocean, sea,

lake, reservoir,


and another river that cannot carry away the sediment supplied by the river.

The last one happens very rarely (Entering a river).
