The term DEPOSIT RIVER refers to a river that carries sediment, such as SILT, LODE, and loess, and deposits it in another location. SILT is a type of soil composed of very fine particles, while LODE is a deposit of ore or minerals found in rock or soil. Loess is a type of sedimentary material composed of wind-blown dust. All three of these materials are deposited by rivers, creating new landforms and landscapes.
