Deltas are landforms formed at river mouths where sediment is deposited as the river enters a sea or lake. They are fan-shaped areas that can span hundreds of kilometers. The Indus River Delta in Pakistan covers 40,000 square kilometers and has a complex network of distributaries. Deltas form as rivers slow down at their mouths, causing sediment to flocculate and settle, building up over time. Different types of deltas include bird's foot, arcuate, and cuspate shapes, depending on factors like tidal influence. Deltas provide fertile land and resources but are also at high risk of flooding and channel migration due to their unstable sediments.
Flowing water has the ability to dissolve the soluble mineral substances available on its way. The processes enacted by streams are called as fluvial processes. The word “fluvius” is derived from the latin word meaning “ river”. The world fluvial is used to denote the running water as streams or rivers. Fluvial processes entail the erosion, transportation, and deposition of earth materials by running water. Fluvial processes and fluvial landforms dominate land surfaces the world over, as opposed to the limited effects of glacial, coastal, and wind processes.

Drainage Pattern & Morphometric analyses of drainage basins.
In geomorphology, the patterns formed by the streams, rivers, and lakes in a particular drainage basin. Also known as drainage systems or river systems.
According to the configuration of the channels, drainage systems can fall into one of several categories known as drainage patterns. Drainage patterns depend on the topography & geology of the land.
Drainage basins: The total land surface drained by a system of stream leading to the same outflow.
Drainage system: The stream, tributaries, and other bodies of water by which a region is called drained.
Drainage divide: The boundary between adjacent drainage basins.
An area of land drained by a river and its tributaries.
It is also called the Catchment area.
Any precipitation which falls into the basin is collected and drains into the main river or its tributaries by runoff, throughflow or groundwater flow.
Its boundary marked by a ridge of high land called watershed.
Drainage basins have one main stream and many tributaries.
Each tributaries of main stream forms sub-drainage basin.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Description
• A delta is a feature of river deposition found at
the end of a river at its mouth where it
reaches the sea or a lake. Deltas are fan-
shaped, low-lying areas of flat land jutting out
to sea. They can be very large and can span
hundreds of km across. They are comprised of
a range of coarse to fine alluvial material and
are characterised by a complicated criss-cross
network of distributaries.
3. Indus River Delta-(example)
Series of complex
distributaries in a criss-cross
pattern.
Coarse and fine alluvial
material
•Location: Pakistan
•Size: 40000 sq. km
4. Formation
• A delta is alluvial landform where the mouth of a
river flows into an ocean. As the river reaches its
mouth it loses energy and competence so
therefore slows down. This reduction in speed
results in the river depositing its load. As the sea
is unable to remove this build up of sediment fast
enough, a delta is formed. When rivers like the
Mississippi reach the sea, the meeting of fresh
and salt water produces an electric charge which
causes clay particles to collect together and to
settle on the seabed. This is a process called
flocculation.
5. • As these particles of sediment flocculate and
therefore increase in size, they are deposited
under the influence of gravity. Over time these
factors result in the build up of sediment both
outwards and in height. Later, a system of multiple,
dividing channels form within the delta and these
are called distributaries. These divide at points of
channel blockage and come together again to form
a maze of active and inactive channels.

6. Different types of deltas
• Bird’s foot- where delta formation is river-
dominated and less subject to tidal or wave
action, a delta may take on a bird’s foot shape.
The Mississippi
delta is an
example of a
bird’s foot delta.
The shape of the
delta is like a
claw.
7. • Arcuate delta- has a rounded, convex outer
margin. A good example is the Nile delta
which is dominated a little more by tidal and
wave action.
The land around
the river mouth
arches out into
the sea.
The river splits many
times on the way to
the sea, creating a
fan effect.
8. • Cuspate delta- where the material brought
down by a river is spread out evenly on either
side of its channel. It is like a cup and is
shaped by gentle, regular, but opposing, sea
currents or longshore drift. An example of a
cuspate delta is the Tiber.
Pointed like a
tooth or a cup.
9. Human impacts of deltas
Positive impacts
• Deltas provide fertile land and are associated with
good fishing grounds offshore, and with oil and gas
deposits beneath the surface.
Negative impacts
• Deltas are by their nature very dynamic landforms due
to the fact that they are composed of unstable,
unconsolidated sediments and are subject to channel
migration as well as to subsidence by the sea.
• Deltas flatness makes the land surrounding it high
flood-risk areas.
10. Ganges delta-Human uses
• A large part of the nation of Bangladesh lies in
the Ganges Delta, and many of the country's
people depend on the delta for survival. In fact it
is believed that up to of 300 million people are
supported by the Ganges Delta.
Agriculture and fishing
• Approximately two-thirds of the Bangladesh
people work in agriculture, and grow crops on
the fertile floodplains of the delta. The major
crops that are grown in the Ganges Delta are rice,
tea and a vegetable called jute.
11. • Fish farms have also been set up for the poor by scientists to
improve the local fishing methods. Shrimp and salmon are the
major types of fish farmed here and most of them are
exported and sold.
• However, people have to be careful on the river delta as
severe flooding also occurs. In 1998, the Ganges flooded the
delta, killing about 1,000 people and leaving more than 30
million people homeless. The rice crops were also destroyed
which left may of the surviving people starving.
