Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Foreset beds in a delta are composed of sediments that are deposited as the river flows into the still water of a lake or sea, causing the sediments to settle out due to a decrease in velocity. This process results in the deposition of coarser materials in the foreset beds compared to other parts of the delta.
