Answer: River delta:

Explanation: We can define deposition as: is the laying down of sediment carried by wind, flowing water, the sea or ice.

- Sediment can be transported as pebbles, sand and mud, or as salts dissolved in water. Salts may later be deposited by organic activity (e.g. as sea shells) or by evaporation.

When different land forms are eroded, most sediment settles in the bottom of rivers and deltas. Over time, the amount of sediment grows and grows creating different channels for the process to occur again.

Please give rating :)
