  1. Inverted river delta

    noref date July 2008 An inverted river delta is special category of river delta in which the narrow end of the delta emerges on the seafront and the wide end is located further inland, so that with respect to the seafront, the locations of both ends of the delta are inverted. Explanation Image Wpdms usgs photo sacramento delta 2.jpg thumb 225px right A picture of California s Sacramento San Joaquin River Delta , with Suisun Bay at left center and the Carquinez Strait at far left In a typical river delta, the narrow end of the delta is located at the point where a river enters a delta, with a wide fan shaped sedimentation region extending outward into the body of water into which the river empties. In some rare cases, the delta is located at the waterway s exit from a large, flat valley, yet still inside the valley. The sediment is dropped within the valley and the clear water then exits into a bay or the ocean, so the apex of the delta is at this exit, a configuration said to be inverted from that usually seen. Inverted deltas typically do not last long in geological terms, since they tend to fill up with sediments rather quickly and eventually become normal deltas. Examples The Sacramento San Joaquin River Delta A classic example of an inverted river delta is the Sacramento San Joaquin River Delta , which lies at the confluence of the Sacramento River Sacramento and San Joaquin River San Joaquin rivers in California .

The cause of this shape of the river basin may be explained by the theory of colloid s. Introduction Image delta1.1.jpg thumb Colloidal forces Image delta2.1.jpg thumb Delta formation The river basin does form due to the formation of bottom set beds, consisting of finer materials carried farthest seaward and laid down on the floor of the embayment , on which the delta is formed. Fore set beds are somewhat coarser and they represent the advancing front of the delta and the greater part of its bulk. They usually have a distinctly steeper dip than the bottom set beds and are in reality a continuation of the alluvial plain of which the delta is the terminal position. Application of Colloidal theory to delta shaped river basins Colloid s are such substances, which basically possess an outward force which expands in two ways 1. Ordinal vertical pressure 2. Abscission Abscissal horizontal The lattice spread around those wiktionary Particle particle s controls these forces.

  1. Indus River Delta-Arabian Sea mangroves

    The Indus River Delta Arabian Sea mangroves are a large mangrove ecoregion on the Arabian Sea coast of India and Pakistan . Location and description These mangroves are found in the Indus River delta on the Arabian sea, an even saltier estuary than usual due to the salts brought to the coast by the Indus from the Thar Desert , a process that is ongoing as the river is increasingly used for irrigation and water supply. Mangroves are an important habitat where salt and fresh water mix and support a range of plants specialised to survive in this salty environment, and large numbers of fishes and crustaceans that find food, shelter and oxygen in the waters beneath the tree roots. The climate is hot. ref http www.worldwildlife.org wildworld profiles terrestrial im im1403 full.html ref Flora Mangroves forests have a thick canopy and an undergrowth mainly of saplings of the mangrove trees. Fauna The mangroves are especially important as a sheltered haven where fish, crustaceans and invertebrates can reproduce. They are also home to large numbers of seabirds. Mammals of the delta include Fishing Cat s. Threats and preservation Pollution from the industrial city and port of Karachi is a threat to habitats in the delta, as is depletion of the Indus as water is extracted. Most of the Indus delta mangroves have been cleared for firewood and to create grazing land but some remains in three protected areas Marho Kotri Wildlife Sanctuary Marho Kotri , Cut Munarki Chach Wildlife Sanctuary Cut Munarki Chach Wildlife Sanctuaries and Mirpur Sakro Game Reserve.
