Answer:

A delta is formed when the river deposits its material faster than the sea can remove it. ... Cuspate - the land around the mouth of the river juts out arrow-like into the sea. The Ebro Delta. Bird's foot - the river splits on the way to the sea, each part of the river juts out into the sea, rather like a bird's foot.

I hope it's helpful!
