Solution
Amazon is a large river in the world. Near its mouth, no deltas are found.
Explanation:
The Amazon River has a massive amount of water discharge and velocity, which forces debris far out into the Atlantic Ocean. Furthermore, powerful ocean currents and strong tidal motions constantly clear any collected debris, preventing traditional delta formation at its mouth.
