Earth material that have been eroded by a river will be carried by river. There are natural carrier, such as rivers, winds....etc. These material become sediments. River will carry these sediments to other places. After a long time, sediments will form a layer (which made of sediments), and then more and more layers of sediments, and eventually Sedimentary rocks will form from these layers or sediments.

They get carried along by the water as silt until the water slows enough for it to settle out, creating sandbars in rivers, alluvial fans in lakes or oceans

the material that is eroded by the river is deposited at the mouth of the river.....sediments deposit accoring to the enviorment that they find at the places....as a result different landform are come into being......
terrigenous sediments are those derived from the erosion of rocks on land; that is, that are derived from terrestrial environments ... Consisting of sand, mud, and silt carried to sea by rivers, their composition is usually related to their source rocks; deposition of these sediments is largely limited to the continental shelf
Pelagic sediments, also known as marine sediments, are those that accumulate in the abyssal plain of the deep ocean, far away from terrestrial sources that provide terrigenous sediments; the latter are primarily limited to the continental shelf, and deposited by rivers..Pelagic sediments that are mixed with terrigenous sediments are known as hemipelagic
generally sediments form deltas and bars when river water reaches at lower energy level i.e: from streams to seas...
A delta is a landform where the mouth of a river flows into an ocean, sea, desert, estuary or lake, building outwards (as a deltaic deposit) from sediment carried by the river and deposited as the water current is dissipated. Deltaic deposits of larger, heavily-laden rivers are characterized by the river channel dividing into multiple streams (distributaries), these divide and come together again to form a maze of active and inactive channels

I think you answered your own question, check out the definition of eroded
to eat into or away; destroy by slow consumption or disintegration:
