Answer 2

The landform shown in the figure is a delta.

Explanation:

Deltas are triangular low landforms formed by rivers before meeting the sea.

Rivers carry a lot of soil and other debris along with water. If the velocity of the river is high, the quantity of substances carried along will also be high. If the velocity reduces as it approaches the sea, it deposits these substances which form a delta according to the landforms.

Sunderban Delta is the world's largest delta formed by the River Ganga and Brahmaputra in the Bay of Bengal.

Other examples of the delta are:

Indus River Delta

Amazon Delta

Fly Delta

Euphrates Delta
