Deltas on the move : Making deltas cope with the effects of climate change
Where a river enters an ocean or sea, sediments transported by the river are deposited. As layer upon layer is deposited a platform of sediment, the delta, is built up and rises above sea level. At the seaside of the delta erosive forces like currents, tides and waves play a role. As long as the net rate of sediment supply exceeds the rate of removal a delta will build seawards.
