Is India a delta

Answer 1

The term delta is used to describe the area of land where a river empties into the ocean or the sea. The soil that is carried down the river builds up where it flows into another body of water, forming a land mass.

In essence, a delta is a landform that is formed at the mouth of a river where that river flows into an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, flat arid area, or another river.

Mainland India wasn't created this way. Therefore, it cannot be termed as a Delta.

However, the largest delta in the world, formed by the Ganges River in India and Bangladesh, is known as Sundarbans.
