RE: Everyday Geography #9 Different types of river deltas
I looked up the Hudson (my backyard) and read that it does not have a plain at its mouth because of its "youth". Where would the Hudson fit in your triangle?Wave process (San Francisco)? Found this essay easy to understand--I'm not a geologist or scientist so that's good :)
Thanks that is what I aim for :)
The Hudson and its mouth are strongly shaped by the geology there, but on the near coasts, barriers and coastal lagoons are clearly visible. So I also would place it in the category of wave dominated. Tidal forces are also present there, but I don't think it shaped the morphology.
Thank you! I'll have to catch up on the previous posts you list...
