Question

In the diagram, above, marker D is pointing to a __________, which is a landform that forms when a river slows down as it flows into an ocean or lake. As the river slows, it drops its sediment load, gradually creating a network of small channels and islands.

Answer 1

As a river flows into an ocean or lake, it slows down.

While slowing down to flow into a lake or sea, it leaves behind loads of sediments thereby creating many channels and islands.

These islands created at the mouth of a river are called deltas.

Deltas are triangle-shaped fertile pieces of land created by rivers.
