DELTA (from the shape of the Gr. letter A, delta, originally used of the mouth of the Nile)

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 975 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DAH-DEM
DELTA (from the shape of the Gr. letter A, delta, originally used of the mouth of the Nile) , a
tract
  of
land
  enclosed by the diverging branches of a
river
 's mouth and the seacoast, and traversed by other branches of the stream. This triangular
tract
  is formed from the fine silt brought down in suspension by a muddy
river
  and deposited when the river reaches the sea. When tidal currents are feeble, the
delta
  frequently advances some distance seawards, forming a
local
  prolongation of the
coast
 .
