Question

difference between delta and estuary​

Answer 1

Answer:

When the river enters the sea or any other watercourse, where the flow of water is slow and cannot further carry the sediment brought by the river, the sediment is dropped at the river mouth and which results in the formation of a delta. It is not exactly same as an estuary, which is a coastal water body, where the river meets the sea or any other watercourse, with brackish water.
