What is a delta? How is it formed?
Answers
A delta is a land form comprised of sediments found at the mouth of the river. A delta can only form when river channels carry sediments into another body of water. Herodotus, a Greek historian, first used the term "delta" for the Nile River in Egypt.
Answer:
Deltas are wetlands that form as rivers empty their water and sediment into another body of water, such as an ocean, lake, or another river. ... A river moves more slowly as it nears its mouth, or end. This causes sediment, solid material carried downstream by currents, to fall to the river bottom.
Delta is a triangular landform that a river forms near its mouth (where it meets the ocean or sea). Since the river deposits most of its sediments near the mouth, these deposited sediments force the river to split into several distributaries and this region is collectively known as Delta.
A delta is an area of low, flat land shaped like a triangle, where a river splits and spreads out into several branches before entering the sea.
