Marine Terraces Marine terraces are formed by coastal erosion and reflect the history of the rise and fall of sea level over time. However, marine terraces are only found along coastlines where the land is rising. In areas where the land is sinking they are submerged or buried by younger sediments.
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. Deposition is the process in which material is laid down or dropped. Rock and soil that are deposited by streams are called sediment. Rivers and streams deposit sediment where the speed of the water decreases.
