The landform that will most likely form where the new branch empties into the ocean is a delta. A delta is formed by the deposition of sediment carried by the river as it slows down and spreads out upon entering a larger body of water, such as an ocean.
The natural shifting of a river's course has caused the river to separate into two branches . One
branch continues in the river's previous course. The other branch takes a new route across the
land. Eventually, it empties into the ocean. Which landform will most likely form where the new
branch empties into the ocean? (1 point)
mountain
delta
hill
canyon
