Over millions of years, layers of sediment may build up and harden into sedimentary rock. Some of the many forms of sedimentary rock include sandstone, rock salt, and coal. Sandstone forms as sand hardens.

What is dalta?

Dalta is an abbreviation that stands for The Denver Association of Lease and Title. I'm pretty sure that this doesn't have to do with science so I'm thinking you're referring to delta. Deltas are a land form that is formed at the mouth of a river, where the river flows into the ocean. They are formed by deposits of sediments and minerals. The biggest delta is the Nile Delta in Egypt.


What are delta deposits and alluvial deposits?

Delta deposits are sedimentary deposits that accumulate at the mouth of a river as it flows into a larger body of water, formed by the river's sediment being deposited due to a decrease in flow velocity. Alluvial deposits are sediments that are transported and deposited by flowing water, typically forming along riverbanks, floodplains, and in river channels.


What are the conditions needed for a river delta to be formed?

river looses velocity, and deposits it's load (river looses velocity when it enters a river or lake) heavy material is deposited first and silt last. for a delta to be formed there must be deposition of sediments and distribution channels. delta are formed when the river deposits it alluvium at the mouth of the river and then the river forced to split.


Alluvial tracts of land at mouth of river formed by river deposits?
