No, deltas are formed from the deposition of the sediment carried by the river as the flow leaves the mouth of the river. Over long periods of time, this deposition builds the characteristic geographic pattern of a river delta.

What event leads to the development of flood plains and deltas?
The yearly increase in runoff caused by spring meltwater, or by monsoon rains, are what trigger flooding in river basins. The year-round processes of erosion and sediment transport are what form the characteristic plains and deltas, as silt carried down the river drops out of the water when it tops its banks, or when the water slows in velocity, as at the mouth of a river.
Is a canyon caused by deposition?

What is formed by constructive erosion?

What could have caused a river to become wider?
If you mean how the river widens, the usually cause is erosion.
How is a deltas formed?
Deltas form from erosion of rocks.The river must carry enough sediment to layer into deltas over time. The river's velocity decreases rapidly, causing it to deposit the majority.An alluvium builds up to form the river delta.A river delta is a landform that forms at the mouth of a river, where the river flows into an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, or reservoir. Deltas form from deposition of sediment carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth.Deltas mostly form over long periods of time.
Are sand dunes and deltas examples of erosion?
No, they are examples of deposition, not erosion.
What is the term for erosion caused by stones in river?
