Answer: 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 when a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot carry away the supplied sediment. The size and shape of a delta is controlled by the balance between watershed processes that supply sediment.
Answer:
23
21.7391304348 m
Explanation:
L = Initial length = 500 m
= Change in temperature = 40-(-35)
= Coefficient of thermal expansion = 
Change in length is given by

The change in length is 0.45 m
The number of joints would be

The number of joints is 23
Each bridge section length would be

The length of each bridge section would be 21.7391304348 m
