Answer:

Here is the answer: The Indian Ocean is the only ocean that is named after a country, India. The Indian Ocean does not open out towards the north as it is separated from Arctic ocean by the Asian continent. Thus it is referred to as 'half of an ocean

Explanation:

Deltas are formed when a river enters a standing or low-energybody of water (a lake, lagoon or sea). Velocity drops partly because of the lack of tidal currents (which would transport sediment away), but also because of the shallower gradient at the mouth of a river.

Answer:

The Indian Ocean is the only ocean that is named after a country, India. The Indian Ocean does not open out towards the north as it is separated from Arctic ocean by the Asian continent. Thus it is referred to as 'half of an ocean'.

Material deposited by a river is known as sediment. The larger the material, the higher the velocity needed to transport it. Therefore, when velocity decreases, the large boulders are the first to be deposited. ... a river enters a shallow area (this could be when it floods and comes into contact with the flood plain)
