What is a non-example of a river delta?
a river delta is a landform created by deposition sediment that is carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or stagnant water . this occurs where a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or another river that can not carry away the supplied sediment.
Why can't a delta form at a river mouth where the waves are strong?
the waves carry the sand and pieces of rock that form the delta away.
Land built form Rock pieces dropped at the end of the river?
Delta. Most prominent example: Mississippi delta in Louisiana.

How a rock on a mountain becomes a pebble in a river?
someone picks it up and puts it in a river, then the river turns it into a pebble with erosion.
How do deltas form?
A delta is formed when pieces of rock and sediment flow down a river and to the ocean. Over time the sediment at the mouth builds up so much that the water has to find a way around the buildup and a new place to go into the ocean. This happens for a while until a river delta forms. It is similar, in principle, to the formation of alluvial fans at the bottom of mountain canyons.
The material made up of clay and bits of black soil and rock carried by the nile river and deposited in the delta is called?
Silt.
How is the water cycle involved in moving rock and sediment from a mountain top to a beach?
When it rains on a mountain top, it creates a river. That river flows down carrying sediments witch end up in the beach.
How is a peak is formed?
A Peak Is Formed When; A Giant Piece Of Rock Or Mountain Breaks Off During A Strong Wind Or Shift Of The Earth.
Where are rock sediments deposited in nature?
Rock sediments are deposited at the bottom of a body of water, such as a river or lake. When the flow of water changes direction, the sediment has different momentum, so it does not change direction as fast, and it will collide with the river bank and then settle. Another way is when a river widens or enters a lake, the flow rate decreases, so the particles fall to the bottom. This can also be seen at a delta region when a river meets a gulf or ocean. The Mississippi Delta region in Louisiana the Gulf of Mexico is a good example of this.
