What is a wide tidal mouth of a river flowing into a sea?
That is a 'delta'
Where would you find a delta in a cave on a mountain in a river?
A Delta is where a large river enters the sea which has a low tidal range.

Which river does not form any delta at its mouth?
A river which arrives at the sea which has a high tidal range will not form a delta. This is because the change in the tidal area will wash the sediment brought down by the river away. It is the build up of sediment brought down by the river into a relatively tideless sea which forms the delta.

The river tees is not a delta as the north sea (the sea it drains into) is tidal, meaning that the tides wash away the sediment that cause deltas.

Is there a delta in Antarctica?
The geographic definitions of a delta includes areas of water action such as an alluvial deposit at the end of a river as it empties into the sea, and a collection of minerals at the mouth of a tidal inlet. Since there are no permanent rivers on Antarctica that empty into the sea -- 98% of the continent is covered with an ice sheet, and the tidal inlets to open lagoons are non-existent, there is no occurrence of a delta on the continent.
What is a synonym for 'delta' in geography?
Flood plain, alluvial plain, tidal plain, firth, inlet, bayou, estuary, slough, and river mouth are all terms that are synonymous with 'delta'.

What places are river deltas found?
At the end of the river, the places where the river empties out into something else, usually a lake or the ocean. The reason that some rivers enter the sea with a delta rether than an estuary depends on tidal flow. Where there is little difference in the tidal range a Delta is formed, as in the Mississippi entering the Gulf of Mexico.
