River Deposition:
* Delta: A fan-shaped deposit of sediment at the mouth of a river where it enters a larger body of water.
* Alluvial Fan: A fan-shaped deposit of sediment at the base of a mountain or steep slope where a river emerges from a confined area.
* Floodplain: A flat area adjacent to a river that is periodically flooded, resulting in fertile soil.
* Natural Levee: Raised banks along a river channel formed by deposition of sediment during floods.
* Oxbow Lake: A crescent-shaped lake formed when a river meanders and cuts off a loop of its channel.
Wind Deposition:
* Sand Dune: A hill of sand created by wind deposition.
* Loess: A fine-grained, wind-deposited silt that forms fertile soil.
* Sand Sheet: A large, flat area of sand deposited by wind.
* Yardang: A streamlined landform sculpted by wind erosion and deposition.
Glacial Deposition:
* Moraine: A ridge of glacial debris deposited at the edge or end of a glacier.
* Drumlin: An elongated hill of glacial till, often shaped like an inverted spoon.
* Outwash Plain: A plain of sand and gravel deposited by meltwater from a glacier.
* Kame: A small, conical hill of sand and gravel deposited by a meltwater stream.
* Esker: A long, winding ridge of sand and gravel deposited by a meltwater stream flowing beneath a glacier.
Ocean Deposition:
* Beach: An accumulation of sediment along a coastline, deposited by waves.
* Spit: A long, narrow ridge of sand that extends out into the sea, often attached to the mainland at one end.
* Tombolo: A sandbar that connects an island to the mainland.
* Barrier Island: A long, narrow island of sand that runs parallel to the coastline, protecting the mainland from erosion.
* Continental Shelf: A gently sloping, submerged plain extending from the coastline.
Other Depositional Landforms:
* Talus: A pile of rock fragments at the base of a cliff or slope, deposited by gravity.
* Landslide Debris: Accumulations of rock and soil deposited by landslides.
* Volcanic Deposits: Lava flows, ash, and other materials deposited by volcanic eruptions.
These are just a few examples of landforms created by deposition. The specific type of landform that is formed depends on the agent of deposition, the type of sediment, and the environmental conditions.
