Clays
are
deposited
by
rivers
which flocculate with
freshwater. Clay
is
nutrient
rich meaning the
land
becomes very
fertile.
Nutrients
at
deltas
is why
Bangladesh
can get multiple
harvests
(
Ganges Brahmaputra
).
Farmers
often live here and subsistent farm due to
poverty.
The dynamic equilibrium can be easily
unbalanced
by things like
coastal
flooding or
tides.
Flooding can destroy the
fertility
of
land
and
sea life.
