The River's Velocity, Gradient, and Channel shape/roughness
A river's power to erode depends on a river's slope, the volume of flow, and the shape of the river.
Delta - a delta is a landform that forms at the mouth of a river, where sediment carried by the river is deposited and accumulates in a triangular or fan-shaped pattern. Deltas are typically rich in nutrients and support diverse ecosystems.
It is Slope , Volume of flows , and Streamed Shape.
The factors are underlaying earth materials, the force of the water, and the amount of sand or water is also a factor. These are the three factors that influence the shape of the land around river channels.

You can compare and contrast Tennessee's three regions (East, Middle, West) based on their predominant landforms. For example, East Tennessee is known for its mountainous terrain, Middle Tennessee is characterized by rolling hills and fertile valleys, while West Tennessee features flat plains and the Mississippi River. Each region offers unique topography and geological features that shape its landscape and resources.
Deltas are classified into three main types based on their shape and formation: River Deltas: These form at river mouths where sediment carried by the river is deposited as the water slows down. They typically have a triangular or fan shape, like the Mississippi Delta. Tide Deltas: Formed in areas with strong tidal influences, these deltas are shaped by tidal currents that redistribute sediment. They often have a lobate shape, as seen in the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta. Wave Deltas: Created in coastal areas where waves dominate, these deltas are shaped by wave action and tend to have a more linear form. An example is the Nile Delta, which showcases a combination of wave and river delta characteristics.
