it forms through deposition.
where is the arcuate delta located
a delta that contains many distributaries
A convex delta such as the Nile River Delta.
An arcuate delta is a fan-shaped deposit of sediment that forms a curved or crescent shape at the mouth of a river where it enters a body of water. It is typically found in areas with low wave energy and strong tidal currents, resulting in the sediment being distributed in a specific curved shape. Examples of arcuate deltas include the Nile Delta and the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta.
A cuspate delta is formed when a river drops sediment onto a straight shoreline with strong waves. Waves force the sediment to spread outwards in both directions from the river's mouth, making a pointed tooth shaped with curved sides by regular opposing, gentle water movement; an arcuate delta is formed when a river meets the sea in a place where the waves, currents and tides are strong, and are found in areas where longshore drift keeps the seaward edge of the delta trimmed and relatively smooth.

Ther are 4 types of deltas,these types are:1. Arcuate delta2.Digitate or bird foot delta3.Estuarine delta4.Cuspate or tooth shaped delta
Delta is the greek letter D. The Mississippi is a goosefoot delta. A delta is an area of Distributaries, inasmuch as the river is formed by tributaries it arrives at the sea and divides into separate channels to enter the sea. A delta will only be formed in an area of sea which has a limited tidal range.
EstuaryAnswerIn some cases such as the nile the mouth that meets the Mediterranean is called the Delta.(There are 3 main types: Arcuate, Bird's Foot and Estuarine)Estuary, inlet, mouth, or delta.
The types of Delta are: 1. Arcuate. E.g. Nile 2. Bird's Foot. E.g. Mississippi 3. Cuspate. E.g. Tiber 4. Estuarine. E.g. Seine (Note, less common)
