Where are deltas located?

• At the mouth of a river

• At the start of a river

• On a beach

• At the top of a mountain

The Ricketts River is the longest river in Texas, emptying into the Gulf of Mexico. How is this landform created? What type of land formation would you expect to find where the river deposits sediments as it reaches the Gulf?

• moving water drops sediments in a new place

• moving water carves out the rock

• a glacier slowly carves out the mountain creating an u-shaped valley

• a river slowly carves out the mountain creating a v-shaped valley
