Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

The shape of a delta represents a balance between the accumulation of sediments and their removal by the ocean. The combined effects of waves, tides, and river flow determine the shape of a delta. River-dominated deltas are fed by a strong flow of freshwater and continental sediments, and they form in protected marginal seas. They terminate in a well-developed set of distributaries-the split ends of the river-in a characteristic bird's foot shape. In tide-dominated deltas, freshwater discharge is overpowered by tidal currents that mold sediments into long islands parallel to the river flow and perpendicular to the trend of the coast. Wave-dominated deltas are generally smaller than either tide- or river-dominated deltas and have a smooth shoreline punctuated by beaches and sand dunes.
