Is a delta made from area of land drained by a river?
In a sense, a delta is made from the land drained by a river. Fine particles of earth are washed down the river to its mouth. At the mouth, the waters are calmer, and many of the particles drop out to the bottom of the sea, building the land up. Vegetation that can live at the edge of the sea build it up more. Tides and floods build it up more. Eventually the land mass at the mouth of the river is extended in this way. The source of the earth that is at the delta, is the earth washed from the drainage area of the river.

What is the triangular section of land build up at the rivers mouth?

a delta
How might a flood on a river affect a delta?
A flood on a river can deposit a large amount of sediment into the river's delta, leading to delta expansion. This can help build up the delta land area, increase fertility of the soil, and create new habitats for wildlife. However, extreme flooding can also erode and reshape the delta, potentially leading to loss of land and habitat.
