Deltas are formed from the deposition of the sediment carried by the river as the flow leaves the mouth of the river.

A delta is formed by deposition. Deltas are landforms that are created where a river meets a body of water, like an ocean or a lake. As the river flows into the larger body of water, it slows down, causing sediment it was carrying to settle and build up over time, forming the delta.
