Question Do you know what it is called when these rivers split into multiple streams near the coast? Discuss with your teacher in class to find out!
Yes, when rivers split into multiple streams near the coast, especially before entering a sea, it is called a delta. This process is called “delta formation”, and the streams are called distributaries. For example, the Ganga-Brahmaputra and Godavari rivers form large deltas.
