Delta 02


Delta 02 : (1) An Alluvial Deposit, usually triangular or semi-circular, at the mouth of a river or stream. The delta is normally built up only where there is no tidal or current action capable of removing the sediment at the same rate as it is deposited, and hence the delta builds forward from the coastline. (2) A Tidal Delta is a similar deposit at the mouth of a tidal Inlet, put there by Tidal Currents
