A tidal delta is not the same as a river delta. River deltas are created by soil deposits forming from the outflow of the water, such as on the Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers. A tidal delta is the sand bar or shoaling area left at the mouth of a river by the movement of bottom mud and sand by a diurnal tide and the currents that result from that tide.
