    What happens at a river 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. The river mouth is where much of this gravel, sand, silt, and clay —called alluvium —is deposited. When large amounts of alluvium are deposited at the mouth of a river, a delta is formed.
