This Geography Classified Nomenclature module deals with the general concepts of Types of Delta Formations.

The module includes:

Simple Mouth: Understand where a river enters another body of water through a single channel.
Delta: Learn about alluvial tracts formed at river mouths depositing more material than tidal currents can remove.
Bird’s Foot Delta: Study lobate deltas like the one at the mouth of the Mississippi River.
Estuary: Discover the mixing points of fresh and sea water with evident tidal effects.
River Basin: Explore areas drained by rivers and their tributaries.
Affluent: Learn about streams or rivers flowing into larger ones.
Subtributary: Understand brooks or creeks that flow into streams leading to larger rivers.
Tributary: Study rivers contributing water to other rivers along their courses.
Confluence: Discover points where two streams unite or one flows into another.

Booklets and wall charts are not included in the homeschool version. The three-part card format includes control cards, which children can use to match labels and pictures. If desired, these control cards can be bound and used as booklets. We have opted to exclude booklets and wall charts to make the homeschool edition more cost-effective.
