A delta landscape is a landform created at the mouth of a river where it meets a body of water, such as an ocean or lake. This formation occurs as sediment carried by the river is deposited when the river's flow slows down, leading to the creation of various channels, islands, and wetlands. Deltas are characterized by their rich biodiversity and fertile soils, making them important for agriculture and ecosystems. Notable examples include the Nile Delta in Egypt and the Mississippi River Delta in the United States.
