It's a 'delta'. It's what happens when a river splits and caries sediment to the ocean or larger body of water.

Answer:

Delta

Explanation:

In terms of geology, a delta is usually defined as a landform that is formed when the rivers flow and ultimately get mixed up with the static water body such as ocean, seas, lake, and estuaries. It is a depositional landform, which is created as the sediments are deposited and these sediments are fine-grained in nature. Deltas are triangular in shape and the flow of the water here is significantly very slow. These deltas are generally considered to be the mouth of the river.

the remains of a now-vanished volcano in New Mexico. Sedimentary rocks surround this igneous feature. Explain why these once dee
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The volcano is a contrasting igneous feature which forms due to the rising up of magma near the surface of the earth. In the given condition, there is the presence of some remnants of a now-vanished volcano in New Mexico, and this volcano is surrounded by the sedimentary rocks.

This igneous feature that was once deeply buried is now standing high above the surrounding terrain, and this is because of the weathering and erosion of the sedimentary rocks.

Weathering and erosion is a common process where the rocks disintegrates due to physical, chemical, biological processes. The agents that drives the weathering process are water, wind, and ice.
