- The Rhône Delta
- how it is formed
- at the mouth of a river
- carrying too much load for its velocity
- deposition
- silt is dropped first as it is heaviest
- so would need the most energy
- clay stays in suspension for the furthest
- until it reaches deeper water
- because it is the lightest
- needs least energy
- because it is the lightest
- until it reaches deeper water
- silt is dropped first as it is heaviest
- deposition
- location
- south France
- boarders the Mediterranean
- found where the river Rhône splits into two
- these two rivers meet the sea and form marshland - a delta
- what is a delta
- low lying areas where the ground is waterlogged
- water collects to form ponds, marshes and bogland
- create small scale ecosystems

- social
- tourists provide income
- tourists don't respect the area
- drop litter
- spray pesticides
- harm the ecosystem
- political
- national park
- attracts tourists
- not allowed to build on it
- national park
- economic
- land is able to be farmed on
- income
- seasonal
- tours for tourists of working farms

- social
- land s fertile
- good to grow vegetation / rice
- many rare animals there
- banks built to prevent flooding
- make land too salty
- impacts of the delta on the people around it
- birds, fish and flamingos
- many rare animals there
- national park, so are protected
- farming makes water levels too fresh - not salty enough
- good to grow vegetation / rice
- between industry & environmentalists
