Intro to World Geography
Deltas are landforms created at the mouth of a river where it meets a body of water, such as an ocean or lake. They form as sediment carried by the river is deposited when the river's velocity decreases upon entering the standing water, resulting in a triangular or fan-shaped area. Deltas play a crucial role in shaping coastal landscapes and can create rich ecosystems and fertile agricultural land.
