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.

A student is using a map in which the features are distorted and the land size is more accurate near the equator.

Answer:

Mercator projection

Explanation:

Using a flat paper map to represent the sphere that  is our planet has always been a challenge.  The Mercator projection is one of the most common representation, although we know it is more accurate around the Equator line and the precision diminishes as you get closer to the poles.

There are other types of projections, correcting some issues, but with their own flaws too.  The only accurate representation of the planet is a globe, since it matches the shape of the planet.
