The formation of a delta is the result of the material carried downstream by the river not being removed by the tide. Where there is little tidal difference a delta will form, especially if the river is major, such as the Nile, Mississippi or Danube for example. In other parts of the world large rivers do not form deltas, the Amazon, the St Lawrence & the Rhine. Compare in France the Estuary of the Garrone, in the Bay of Biscay & the Rhone in the Mediterranean.
