A delta is a landform that forms at the mouth of a heavily silted stream as it deposits sediment carried downstream. The sediment builds up over time and forms a triangular or fan-shaped area of land that extends into the body of water, often the ocean. A spit is a narrow point of land that extends into a body of water and is formed by longshore drift. An offshore bar is a submerged or partially exposed ridge or mound of sand, gravel, or other sediment that usually runs parallel to the shore. Lateral moraines are ridges of glacial debris that form along the sides of glaciers.
