Are deltas built up by depositions?
Yes, deltas are landforms built up by deposition of sediment carried by rivers as they flow into a standing body of water, like a lake or ocean. The sediment is deposited as the river's velocity decreases upon entering the stiller water, leading to the accumulation and formation of the delta over time.
How might a flood on a river affect a delta?
A flood on a river can deposit a large amount of sediment into the river's delta, leading to delta expansion. This can help build up the delta land area, increase fertility of the soil, and create new habitats for wildlife. However, extreme flooding can also erode and reshape the delta, potentially leading to loss of land and habitat.
