delta
Delta je karakteristični oblik ušća rijeke. Delta nastaje uslijed taloženja sedimenta kojeg rijeka donosi sa sobom. Tijekom duljeg vremenskog razdoblja tako nastaje karakteristični geografski oblik riječne delte. Grčki povjesničar Herodot je skovao naziv "delta" za ušće rijeke Nil jer je sediment nataložen na njenom ušću imao oblik tiskanog grčkog slova delta.
