Unlike other landforms affected by water current, a delta is not mainly created because of erosion of land surface caused by the force of wind and water. As the river channel flows over the ground and makes contact with soil, it carries with it sediments like gravel, sand, silt and clay. When a river channel encounters another body of water, it loses it speed and deposits such sediments onto a flat area. The sediment deposited by this running water is called Alluvium. These sediments pile up into several layers called beds. The delta becomes a main channel that divides substantial land masses into various streams called distributaries. These distributaries appear like a maze of water channels.
