Most sediments that compose a delta are?

That depends on the stream or river's location in the world and, more importantly, what lies upstream. A Delta, in hydrologic terms, is an alluvial deposit, often in the shape of the Greek letter "delta", which is formed where a stream drops its debris load on entering a body of quieter water. Alluvium is typically made up of a variety of materials, including fine particles of silt and clay and larger particles of sand and gravel. It may include other sedimentary deposits eroded from higher upstream. source for some of the above info: www.crh.noaa.gov/glossary.php

What is the synonymn for a flat grassy ground with trees called?

Veldt

Savannah.

Prairie

Steppe

Pampus

(The great grassy plains are distributed throughout the world, this planet.

They flourish with great regularity in about the same latitude, it seems to me. But more the land and the movement of the earth beneath them.

They seem, their lives, to have to do with temperature. Perhaps, the waters and the moon speaks to the earth and 15000 years of constant temperature have laid Gaia to burgeon where she would.

Of course, the age of the tectonic plates and their stillness in time, lets, allows, permits, growth not yet to final succession.

But we adjust the air, and the plankton and the breezes over the land grass.

Hopefully, you'll get the chance to see the veldt, the savanna, the Great Plains and the other vast wavering grasslands of the planet....
