How are suspensions and deltas formed at the mouths of rivers related?
Look at the water in a big river. It's "dirty" in appearance because of the silt or alluvium suspended in the moving fluid. At the mouth of the river, the water begins to slow down. The silt that has been suspended in the river begins to precipitate out. This forms and builds up the river delta.
