late Holocene deltas
Late Holocene deltas are landforms created at the mouths of rivers over the past few thousand years, shaped by the continuous deposit of sediments from river flow. During this period, climate changes and human activities influenced how these deltas developed, often leading to expansion and restructuring. They consist of layered sediments such as sand, silt, and clay, which build up as rivers slow down when reaching the ocean or a large body of water. These deltas are important ecological and economic zones, supporting diverse wildlife and human communities, but are also vulnerable to rising sea levels and human interference.
