Weathering, transport, and deposition.
Rock and soil erode, are carried by the water downriver until the motion of the water is too slow to support the load, which is usually at or near the mouth of the river.
A delta is formed where a major river enters the sea which has a small tidal range. If the tidal range is high then the sediment is washed away and an estuary is formed. The delta is named by its shape: it looks like the letter D in the Greek alphabet.
The three basic steps are erosion (weathering), transport (carrying silt), and deposition (carried load settles out).

A delta is a triangular formation at the mouth of a river caused by erosion and sediment deposition.

The standard enthalpy change of a reaction (delta H) is related to the standard enthalpy of formation (delta Hf) of the products and reactants involved in the reaction by the equation: delta H = Σ(Products delta Hf) - Σ(Reactants delta Hf). This equation relates the enthalpy change of a reaction to the enthalpies of formation of the substances involved in the reaction.
The Okavango Delta was formed by the Okavango River emptying into a basin with no outlet to the sea, causing the water to spread out and create a large inland delta. The delta is constantly changing due to seasonal flooding and sediment deposition, creating its unique ecosystem and biodiversity.
Deltas are created by deposition.
Reception and orientation are the two critical steps of the formation stage of team building.
Delta formation requires a large volume of sediment to be transported and deposited at the mouth of a river, typically where the river meets a body of standing water like a lake or ocean. Low energy conditions, such as minimal wave action, are important to allow sediment deposition and the formation of deltaic landforms. A stable coastline and sufficient vegetation to help stabilize the sediment are also necessary for delta formation.
