Answer:

Deltas form where a river ends and becomes a body of water such as a lake or an ocean

Step-by-step explanation:

Rivers flow continually from high points (in the mountains) until they reach a broad, extensive body of water at low levels (normally 0 meters altitude), like a lake or an ocean ,where they empty their water and sediments.

The landform created is named delta.

Deltas are regions flooded with many streams of water that find their way to the lake or ocean.

Some examples of deltas are The Mississippi Delta and the Nile Delta.
