deltaic systems

Deltaic systems are landforms created where rivers meet larger bodies of water, like oceans or lakes. As rivers flow towards these water bodies, they slow down and deposit sediment, forming land. This process creates a delta, characterized by its triangular shape and rich ecosystems. Deltas are important for wildlife, agriculture, and human settlements, as they offer fertile soil and abundant resources. They also help manage flooding and maintain water quality. However, deltas can be vulnerable to climate change, pollution, and human activity, which threaten their health and sustainability.
