Figure 1 Erosion and deposition occur at a bend, or meander, in this Alaskan river. Deltas A riverâs current slows when a river empties into a large body of water, such as a lake or an ocean. As its current slows, a river may deposit its load in a fan-shaped pattern called a delta.fter rivers erode rock and soil, they drop, or deposit, their load downstream.

Rivers and streams deposit sediment where the speed of the water decreases.
