Which condition is least favourable for delta formation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Strong tides and powerful marine currents at the mouth
A delta requires sediment to accumulate at a river mouth. Strong tides and powerful marine currents carry deposited material away or redistribute it along the coast, preventing a stable delta from growing. Hence option B is least favourable. A high sediment load, calm coastal water, and reduced river velocity all encourage deposition and therefore support delta formation.
