Which features are formed by silt being deposited along riverbanks?

Answer
A
deltas
B
bluffs
C
salt domes
D
natural levees

When a river floods, it slows as it spreads beyond its channel and drops sediment, including silt, along the banks. Repeated deposits build raised ridges called natural levees. Deltas form where rivers deposit sediment at their mouths, not along the riverbanks.
