Detailed explanation-1: -Delta is a “depositional feature of a river formed at the mouth of the river. These are wetlands that form as rivers empty their water and sediment into another body of water, such as an ocean, lake, or another river. It is a characteristic feature of a river in its senile stage (old).

Detailed explanation-2: -Deltas are depositional landforms that are created from the loading of sediment onto the land as the rivers capacity to carry that sediment is reduced. They are dynamic areas that change rapidly due to continual recreation of land or the erosion of unstable island and land during storm and flood events.

Detailed explanation-3: -Deltas are coastal landforms comprised of subaerial and subaqueous packages of fluvial-transported sediments that have formed an alluvial landscape by deposition at the mouth of a river. Deltas form at the coastal interface where riverine sediment supplied to the coastline is not removed by tides or waves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Deltas are river sediments deposited when a river enters a standing body of water such as a lake, a lagoon, a sea or an ocean. They are fundamentally features of river deposition, not marine deposition. When a river enters a lake it is called a lacustrine delta.

Detailed explanation-5: -A river delta is a landform created by deposition of sediment that is carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or stagnant water. This occurs where a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or another river that cannot carry away the supplied sediment.
