River delta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A river delta is a landform where the mouth of a river flows into an ocean, sea, desert, estuary, lake or another river.
The word "delta" comes from the upper-case letter delta, Δ , in the Greek alphabet because a river delta resembles the shape of this letter.
