A delta is a low, watery land formed at the mouth of a river. It is formed from the silt, sand and small rocks that flow downstream in the river and are deposited in the delta. A delta is often (but not always) shaped like a triangle (hence its name, delta, a Greek letter that is shaped like a triangle).
A deposit of sediment, usually triangular in shape, at the mouth of a river.
an area of sediment deposition at a river's mouth
A delta is a large, silty area at the mouth of a river at which the river splits into many different slow-flowing channels that have muddy banks. New land is created at deltas. Deltas are often triangular-shaped, hence the name (the Greek letter 'delta' is shaped like a triangle).
A delta is usually a triangular alluvial deposit at the mouth of the river. The San Joaquin Delta is the convergence of the Sacramento River and the northbound San Joaquin River which creates a 700-mile maze of waterways. The San Joaquin Delta provides the largest inland port in the state of California.

The low, nearly flat, alluvial tract of land at or near the mouth of a river, commonly forming a triangular or fan-shaped plain of considerable area, crossed by many distributaries of the main river, perhaps extending beyond the general trend of the coast, and resulting from the accumulation of sediment supplied by the river in such quantities that it is not removed by tides, waves, and currents. Most deltas are partly subaerial and partly below water.

A body of sediment deposited at the mouth of a stream where it enters an ocean or a lake.
Deltas form where rivers reach lakes, seas, or the ocean, and deposit their remaining sediment in a broad, flat plain as the river slows and eventually stops. The name comes from the Greek letter delta, shaped like a triangle, as these features are often triangular with one point at the river mouth.
A body of sediment deposited in an ocean or lake at the mouth of a stream.
A usually triangular alluvial deposit at the mouth of a river or a similar deposit at the mouth of a tidal inlet, caused by tidal currents.
Delta was the name of a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia based on the municipality of Delta at the mouth of the Fraser River between the city of Vancouver and the US border. It made its first appearance on the hustings in the election of 1903 and its last in the election of 1986, after which it was succeeded by Delta North and Delta South, which are the current ridings in the area.
