A process like river bifurcation can create valuable landforms for the environment, providing growth of vegetation. An example of such landform is _____.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. river deltas.
A river delta is a landform formed at the mouth of a river where it splits into several smaller channels or distributaries before flowing into a larger body of water, such as a sea or ocean. This process, known as river bifurcation, causes the river to deposit sediments carried from upstream. Over time, these sediments accumulate to create flat, fertile land. This nutrient-rich environment is ideal for the growth of vegetation, making deltas highly productive agricultural zones. River deltas also support diverse ecosystems and are vital habitats for many species. A well-known example is the Sundarbans Delta in India and Bangladesh.
