canyon
hill
mountain
delta

Answer 1

Delta

Step-by-step explanation:

Deltas are the small triangular areas at the ends of rivers or streams when they flow into the ocean.

Answer 2

Delta

Step-by-step explanation:

Delta is a land-form that is formed when areas of sediment deposit at the mouth of the river. It happens when fast-moving water enters a slow-moving body such as sea, lake or ocean. There occurs a sudden decrease in stream velocity which results in the deposition of sediment load.

Deltas usually look triangular in shape as the term comes from Greek’s fourth alphabet Δ.
