A river delta is the landform occurring at the river mouth, where the river meets the sea. It is largely a result of the silt brought down by the river system. The river spreads out in a fan shape into many channels called distributaries, which form outlets and islands. Notable Deltas are the Nile, Amazon and the Mississippi.
Deltas are produced when rivers bring down sediment and deposits from the catchment area. These deposits form a chemical reaction with the seawater and different soils of the coast, coagulating into a clay which settles on the river bed.
Deltas are only formed where there is high velocity of the river dumping into an almost tideless sea. The sediment is thus deposited over a wide area.
