Deltas and moraines are both sedimentary structures formed over long periods by movement of water. A delta is built from rocks, mud, soil, etc., that washed down a river to the sea. A moraine is built from rocks, sand, gravel and soil carried down to a plain or the sea by a glacier.

What does deltas and natural levees have in common?
they look the same

How are the four types of moraines different from each other?
The four types of moraines are lateral, medial, terminal, and ground moraines. Lateral moraines form along the sides of a glacier, medial moraines are formed when two glaciers merge and their lateral moraines combine, terminal moraines mark the furthest extent of a glacier's advance, and ground moraines are the debris left behind beneath a glacier as it retreats.
Why don't Narmada and Tapi make deltas?
because they are not the same rivers
What are deltas examples of?
There are many types of deltas: River-dominated deltas - Mississippi. Wave-dominated deltas - Nile. Tide-dominated deltas - Ganges.
Where are ground moraines located?
Ground moraines are located at the base of the glacier.

Where are moraines found on a glacier?
Moraines are found along the edges, flanks, and in the middle of glaciers. They are formed from debris and rocks that have been transported and deposited by the glacier's movement. Lateral moraines form along the sides, medial moraines run down the center, and terminal moraines are found at the glacier's terminus.
What is an area of deposition?
An area of deposition is a location where sediment is deposited by natural forces like water, wind, or ice. This can include river deltas, beaches, and glacial moraines. Over time, these deposits can build up and create new landforms.
What shape do river deltas usually have?
It is usually a tree shape. :-) (i learned this in lesson.)
Why are terminal moraines usually larger than lateral moraines?
Because terminal moraines were formed around an ice lobe during the period when the ice was at its maximum size.
