a river delta formes at the mouth of a river where it enter a larger body of water. usually the delta is shaped like a triangle. what process causes delta formation

deposition of sediments

wave action

erosion of the river bank

the movement of the tides

The correct answer is "deposition of sediments." When a river enters a larger body of water, it slows down and loses energy, causing it to deposit the sediments it carries. Over time, these sediments build up and form a delta, which is usually triangular in shape.
