Torrent Fan Delta, Lake Geneva, Switzerland 154. Deltas. When a river enters a lake or the sea its current is checked. The finest part of the waste may be swept away by waves and tides ; the rest accumulates at the river mouth and builds up a new land surface, called a delta, in advance of the original shore line. The fans of mountain torrents form deltas in lakes at the mountain 268 ELEMENTARY PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY NORTH PASS SOUTHEAST PASS base.. Small deltas are characteristic of young rivers ;... the longer the progress of river growth, the larger the delta may become.
The land surface of a delta is built on the same slope as that of the river flood plain farther upstream, the delta being only the forward part of the flood plain. Under water a delta slopes at a steeper angle than above water.
The great fan of the Hoang-Ho may be regarded as its delta, because it has been built forward into the Yellow sea (so named from the color given by the river waste).
A river frequently splits into several channels on its delta, the outgoing branches being known as du- tributaries.
