In a way yes, Rivers carry sediment which will eventually build up at the mouth of the river creating a delta. It is the transportation mostly that causes deltas but some could argue that erosion is the weathering and transportation of material. Like I said before in a way you are right

What processes together form dunes and valleys and deltas?
Erosion and Depositionerosion causes dunes and valleysdepostion causes deltas
Where do deltas usually form?
At the mouth (opening/beginning) of a river.
Where can sediment accumulate?
Sediment can accumulate at the mouths of rivers, usually in the form of deltas.
What are three different types of erosion?
The four types or mechanisms of erosion are rill erosion, gully erosion, stream bank erosion, and sheet erosion. In sheet erosion a thin layer of the surface is removed. In rill erosion, small rivulets of running water gather together and cut small channels. In gully erosion, rills enlarge to form bigger channels too large to be removed by normal tillage. Finally, streambank erosion is the washing away of soil from banks of streams and rivers. Erosion is a natural, continuous process, but agricultural practices can speed erosion, resulting in lost soil, lost soil fertility, air pollution, and water pollution. Wind and water are the main agents that move soil.
Do hills form from glacial erosions?
Well really the valleys BETWEEN hills form by glacial and/or other erosion. The hills are what's left behind.

Do deltas and alluvial fans form at the point of river erosion?
happy birthday
What is formed by constructive erosion?
Deltas are formed by constructive erosion.
Are sand dunes and deltas examples of erosion?
No, they are examples of deposition, not erosion.
What of these features is caused by erosion?
river deltas
Deltas form where?
Deltas form at the mouth of rivers.
Where do deltas form?
Deltas form at the mouth of rivers.
What do sediments from rivers and coastal erosion form along the coastlines?
Sediments from rivers and coastal erosion form marine deltas along the coastlines. This is common at the mouth of the river where it drains to the ocean.
A constuctive result of weathering and erosion is.?
Erosion removed material from the mountains and deposits it in deltas to create good soil
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.
What surface feature of the Earth is most likely formed by the process of erosion?
deltas
What fprce of erosion causes deltas to form the grand canyon?
The Grand Canyon was formed mainly due to the Colorado river, and also due to uplift pronouncing the scale of the canyon; it is not formed due to a delta, as deltas are only formed at the mouth of the river, not in its middle course.
