A delta extends a river's mouth into the body of of water into which it is emptying. All the rivers do not form deltas. ... Tides also do not permit deltas to form. The Amazon, the largest river in the world, emptying itself into the Atlantic Ocean, is without a delta

Anubrata: I asked "Why Amazon does not form Delta at its mouth?" not "Is Amazon a river with a delta?"
