The major depositionalcoastal landformsare beaches, spits, and bars. These are made up mainly from sediments deposited by waves. When wave velocities slow down, or whenocean currentsslow down because of frictional forces like the sea bed, vegetation, and other counter currents, deposition occurs. ...
In some cases, cave formations, such as stalactites and stalagmites, have later grown in the caves, formed drip-by-drip from the slow deposition of calcium carbonate from calcium-saturated ground water.Because the average elevation of the Yucatán Peninsula is only a few meters above sea level...
mainly wind, water, and ice. In most of the cases, it is the erosional and depositional activity carried out by these forces of nature (agents of erosion and deposition) that leads to the formation of different landforms. At
Accumulation landform is a kind of landform formed by the deposition of nearshore materials under wave, tidal current and wind. According to the relationship between the accumulation form and the coast and their causes, they can be divided into adjacent landforms, free landforms, closed landforms, ...
deposition also helps build up landforms. Sediment can be carried by water, ice, wind or gravity. Deltas are a type of landform usually created by deposition. Forming where rivers meet calm bodies of water, deltas are made up of the sediment that is deposited at the mouth of a river ove...
Natural tombolos are barriers that link islands to each other or to the mainland coast and they generally form because of wave refraction and diffraction around the island and the development of a littoral transport gradient that leads to deposition in the lee of the island or islands (Zen...

More indirectly, the presence of frozen ground may have an important influence on the erosion and deposition of sediments by fluvial processes and thus on the position of streams (Vandenberghe and Woo, 2002). On steeper terrains (> 3° to about 35°), freeze-thaw cycles lead to solifluction...

Past river alignments and floodplain stratigraphy indicate that scroll bar depositions modulate the erodibility along the channel. Different strata thicknesses and orientations with respect to the river channel can explain the different embayment lengths and the stretches with parallel bankline retreat. ...
