How is a delta created

Geography
1 answer:
Rainbow [258]3 years ago
8 0

The delta is created by the accumulation of material from the river at the end of its flow.

Explanation:

The delta is a physical feature that is formed by the influence of the water, or more specifically by the rivers. Basically, as the river comes to the end of its flow, or better said entering another, larger, water body, it slows down significantly. Because it slows down, it loses its velocity, which in turn means that it can no longer carry the majority of the material it has been carrying to there.

The material gets deposited. As more and more material is deposited, it piles up, creating a sandy land form. The deposited material gradually starts to block parts of the river, so the river starts to branch out in order to continue its flow to the larger water body. The end result is a triangular, sandy physical feature, cut through by numerous smaller ''sleeves'' of the river.

Some of the largest deltas in the world are:

  • Ganges delta
  • Nile River delta
  • Amazon delta
  • Mississippi delta
  • Mekong delta
  • Niger delta
  • Danube delta

Describe cinder cone volcanoes
Marina86 [1]
Cinder cones are the simplest type of volcano. They are built from particles and blobs of congealed lava ejected from a single vent. As the gas-charged lava is blown violently into the air, it breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as cinders around the vent to form a circular or oval cone.

Answers and Explanations:

1. Secant line

There are various different kinds of lines in geometry, and each has its own aspects. A secant line is a line that crosses the shape or graph at exactly two points. Here, we can see that line BC crosses circle A at two points: B and C, so we know it's a secant line.

2. Chord

A line segment that connects two points on a circle without crossing the center is called a chord. Now, if the segment <em>had</em> crossed the center, then it would have been called the diameter.

3. Tangent line

As aforementioned, there are different kinds of lines in geometry. Where a secant line has two intersection points, a tangent has only one. Tangent literally means "touching", and we can see from the picture that the line running through point B is "touching" circle A at exactly one point: B.

Hope this helps!
