1.The favorable conditions for formation of deltas is shallow sea, long course of river, high amount of
sediments and silt and calm sea.These conditions are well developed in eastern part.The low gradient and
sediments brought by Himalayan rivers divides the river into many channels in shallow and calm ocean and
therefore forming delta.
2.Unlike east owing rivers, the west owing rivers passes through rift valley and have high gradient.They constitute low amount of sediments.Therfore when these fast owing rivers reaches to its mouth,they are unable to deposits their slits and silts fall directly into the sea.Hence forming estuary instead of delta. Eg. Narmada and Tapi
