Q. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follows.
A river delta is a land form 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. The size and shape of a delta is controlled by the balance between watershed processes that supply sediment, and receiving basin processes that redistribute, sequester, and export that sediment. The size, geometry, and location of the receiving basin also plays an important role in delta evolution. River deltas are important in human civilization, as they are major agricultural production centers and population centers.
1. How is a delta formed?
2. What is the dead point of the rivers?
3. Who controls the size and the shape of delta?
4. How are river deltas important?
5. Find a word from the passage which is similar to 'happens'
