Delta State, located in Nigeria, was created on August 27, 1991. It was created from the former Bendel State. The capital of Delta State is Asaba.
A delta is typically created by deposition of sediment carried by a river as it flows into a larger body of water, such as an ocean or lake. Erosion can play a role in shaping the delta, but the primary process is the deposition of sediment.
The Okavango Delta was formed due to the tectonic activity that created a geological depression, into which the Okavango River flows and fans out, creating the unique wetland ecosystem. The seasonal flooding of the delta sustains its rich biodiversity and supports a variety of wildlife.
Deltas are created by deposition. They form when sediment carried by a river is deposited as the river slows down and meets standing water, such as an ocean or lake. Erosion plays a role in shaping the delta, but the primary process involved in delta formation is deposition.
A terminal moraine and a delta are both landforms created by deposition of sediment. However, a terminal moraine is formed by glacial ice depositing till at the end of a glacier, whereas a delta is formed by a river depositing sediment at its mouth where it meets a body of water.
The smallest delta in the world is likely the Orinoco Delta in Venezuela, which is a vast area of sediment deposition that forms a network of waterways. It is characterized by low gradients and is shaped by the flow of the Orinoco River as it enters the Atlantic Ocean.
