A delta is a landform formed at the mouth of a river, where the river meets a body of water like an ocean, sea, or lake. It is created by the deposition of sediments carried by the river as the flow velocity decreases. Deltas typically have a triangular or fan-shaped appearance and are often rich in nutrients, making them fertile areas for agriculture.
