Deposits

As rivers carry dust, pebbles, and rocks downstream, this material is eventually deposited at some location further down. These deposits form at bends in a river, as well as in locations where rivers dump water into lakes, seas, and oceans.

River Deposits

The effect of deposits is that new land is created using materials from other locations upstream.
