It's not easy to explain it all in a few words. Further nobody would want to write a full essay here on the subject.
But let's consider a river. The source would be from a mountain range. As it flows down huge rocks and boulders are carried along down stream. Due to friction the rocks erode and become smaller. By the time it these reach the lower plain or a sea, these rocks become sand.
In the lower plain area the river erodes its banks and often changes course. The old courses are left behind in the form of lakes. These lakes are 'C' shaped and called lagoons. The river deposits the silts when it reaches the sea or ocean (we call it mouth of the river). The alluvial deposits form into land masses at the mouth of the river to form deltas.
