Anticline, Syncline, River
Delta, Tributaries, and
Distributaries.
Answers
Explanation:
Anticline is an arch of stratified rock in which the layers bend downward in opposite directions from the crest — compare syncline.
a syncline is a fold with younger layers closer to the center of the structure, whereas an anticline is the inverse of a syncline. A synclinorium is a large syncline with superimposed smaller folds.
A river delta is a landform created by deposition of sediment that is carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or stagnant water. This occurs where a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot carry away the supplied sediment.
A tributary or affluent is a stream or river that flows into a larger stream or main stem (or parent) river or a lake. ... The opposite to a tributary is a distributary, a river or stream that branches off from and flows away from the main stream. Distributaries are most often found in river deltas.

A syncline is a fold in which the youngest rocks occur in the core of a fold
A river is a stream of water that flows through a channel in the surface of the ground. The passage where the river flows is called the river bed and the earth on each side is called a river bank. ... A river begins as a small stream, and gets bigger the farther it flows.
a delta is a triangular area where a major river divides into several smaller parts that usually flow into a larger body of water. The first so-called delta was the Nile Delta,
A tributary is a freshwater stream that feeds into a larger stream or river.
A distributary, or a distributary channel, is a stream that branches off and flows away from a main stream channel.
