Deltas are typically formed during the Holocene epoch, which began around 11,700 years ago and continues to the present. This period is characterized by rising sea levels and the stabilization of river systems, allowing sediments carried by rivers to accumulate at their mouths where they meet larger bodies of water. The interaction of freshwater and marine environments facilitates the development of rich ecosystems found in delta regions.
