Where does a Gilbert-type delta generally develop?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: In a deep lake or quiet water body where coarse sediment accumulates
A Gilbert-type delta commonly develops where a sediment-rich stream enters a relatively deep, quiet lake or reservoir. Coarse gravel and sand are deposited rapidly near the mouth, producing steep foreset beds and a distinct sloping form. The calm water allows the sediment to accumulate rather than being widely redistributed. Therefore option A is correct; the other options describe aeolian, glacial, or karst settings.
