Geography

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 where a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot carry away the supplied sediment.

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 (more rarely) another river that cannot carry away the supplied sediment.

Btw, here's also an easy answer to your question.

Deltas are wetlands that form as rivers empty their water and sediment into another body of water, such as an ocean, lake, or another river.

Which substance(s) have been added by humans to the atmosphere to help trigger climate change?
Blababa [14]

The correct answer is - greenhouse gases.

The humans have been having a very big impact on the composition of the atmosphere in the past century, and that has started to result into changes in the climate patters all over the globe.

The main problem appears with the huge amounts of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere, mostly carbon dioxide, but also methane. These two gases have properties that enable the greenhouse effect, which means that they are able to trap bigger amount of heat in the Earth's atmosphere, thus making it warmer.

If the ongoing trend continuous with the release of the greenhouse gases there will for sure be devastating effects on everyone and everything on the planet not so far in the future.
