How River Deltas Build New Land
How can flowing water, which seems to wear land away, help create solid ground? Study a map or satellite image of a river meeting the sea and predict where new land might be forming. This section investigates what happens at a river mouth and why some mouths become deltas while others become estuaries. One image can suggest patterns, but it cannot prove how the landscape has changed over time.
