A delta is formed when sediment is deposited at the mouth of a river. A valley is formed when a river runs through a flat surface, erodes the soil, and creates a depression. So delta=deposition and valley/canyon=erosion. I hope that helped!
When silt or soil is deposited at the mouth of a river it often creates a landform called a river delta.
Deltas are created when a thick river with slowing meanders deposit the sediment and rocks build up and create new land. This new land causes the river or stream to break apart and creates branches. A delta is now created.
The motto of Delta Delta Delta is 'love one another'.
There isn't really an erosional process. Instead there is a depositional process; as the river meets the sea it slows down which means that it drops most of its sediment and spread out.
