A delta is formed when pieces of rock and sediment flow down a river and to the ocean. Over time the sediment at the mouth builds up so much that the water has to find a way around the buildup and a new place to go into the ocean. This happens for a while until a river delta forms. It is similar, in principle, to the formation of alluvial fans at the bottom of mountain canyons.
A delta develops when a river flows into a larger body of water because the the river water is no longer flowing downhill.

A delta develops where there are no significant cross-currents in the lake or estuary to carry away the silt carried down by the river. As the river slows its suspended sediment falls to the bed, building the fan-shaped delta upwards to near-surface, and outwards.

As a river flows it picks up sediment and carries it away. When the river reaches the ocean the sediments deposited, over time a delta forms.
The water level in most lakes and rivers will vary depending on season and amount of rain etc. There will usually be a delta if there at some point was more water than there is now.

Deltas
Deposition build up deltas.
Process of detritus and sediments deposition at river mouths, where they form distributaries and empty their water into the ocean.
The yearly increase in runoff caused by spring meltwater, or by monsoon rains, are what trigger flooding in river basins. The year-round processes of erosion and sediment transport are what form the characteristic plains and deltas, as silt carried down the river drops out of the water when it tops its banks, or when the water slows in velocity, as at the mouth of a river.
A delta forms when the sediment from one area is brought to another area by a river after being eroded. The river will deposit the sediment at the mouth of the river, forming the delta.
Deltas form at the mouth of rivers.

At the mouth of a river.
At the mouth (opening/beginning) of a river.
it forms by beaches and dunes!!!!!!!!!!!!
River deposition creates landforms such as alluvial and deltas.
