Bird - Foot delta is best formed by (a) Mississippi.
We get to see the formation of a delta when rivers empty their water along with other sediments into another water body. There are processes which govern the formation of deltas and accordingly, they are named and classified.
The lesser but widely spaced distributaries give the deltas an appearance of a bird-foot. It is formed by the Mississippi River before emptying into the Gulf of Mexico.
Answer:
The correct answer is (a) Mississippi.
Explanation:
Delta are geographical structures, more appropriately landmasses, that are formed by the accumulation of the silt, soil, clay, sand, gravels, pebbles, etc. brought in by the rivers, which the rivers have collected from various sources during its course.
This deposition or accumulation occurs at the mouth of the river, where the river ends in a sea or an ocean. These deltas are often formed in various different ways, there are different process and principles that govern the formation of these deltas.
The Mississippi river has a lesser number of tributaries that are widely spaced. The delta they form before emptying in the Gulf of Mexico has an appearance like that of a bird foot.
