Where Are Deltas Found?

Deltas are found at the mouth of large rivers – for example, the Mississippi. A delta is formed when the river deposits its material faster than the sea can remove it. There are three main types of delta, named after the shape they create.

Where are deltas found in the world?

Deltas have a rich accumulation of silt, so they are usually fertile agricultural areas. The world’s largest delta is the Ganges–Brahmaputra delta in India and Bangladesh, which empties into the Bay of Bengal. Bangladesh sits almost entirely on this delta.
