Abstract

This report shows, by means of a computer animation and paper models, how deltas are affected by fresh and salt water currents, topography and location. The report is intended to help students and others visualize how ice shapes and forms a delta. By studying the animations and the paper models, students will come to understand why deltas have different shapes and different interior structures. The diskette version has an animation of arctic delta processes. While both the diskette and paper versions have teacher guide and paper models.
