AI overview
A river mouth is where a river or stream ends and flows into another body of water, such as an ocean, lake, or larger river. River mouths are important because they're where fresh water mixes with salt water and where sediment gets deposited, creating unique environments that support diverse wildlife and often serve as valuable areas for human activities like fishing and transportation.

The water from a river can enter the receiving body in a variety of different ways. The motion of a river is influenced by the relative density of the river compared to the receiving water, the rotation of the Earth, and any ambient motion in the receiving water, such as tides or seiches.
