How is a river delta formed?
A river delta is formed from the deposition of sediments carried by a river as the river enters an ocean, sea, lake, or another river. This is because the flow velocity decreases significantly and the fluid loses the ability to transport sediment.
Why does a delta often forms where a river meets a ocean?
Because the river water is no longer flowing downhill, the water slows down.

it has more rocks because the river has lots of sediments ( pieces of broken rock ) to carry along the river flow. then the sediments pile up into layers and then for many years the layers will harden and turn into a rock. YOUR WELCOME :)
