Brahmaputra River; Deltas; Ganges River; Geomorphology; Himalayas; Landforms; Mountains; Plateaus; Tibetan Plateau; ValleysThis satellite image of a part of Asia shows the silt-laden Brahmaputra River in its valley which is separated from the high Tibetan Plateau by the Himalayan Mountains. It joins the Ganges River comming from the northwest to form the huge delta complex known as the Mouth of the Ganges that makes up most of Bangladesh.

Arabian Sea; Deltas; Depositional Environment; Photogeology; Phytoplankton Blooms; Remote Sensing; Rivers; Sediment Plumes; Sediment Supply; Sediment Transport; Sedimentation; SedimentsExtremely high sediment loads are delivered to the Arabian Sea along the coast of Pakistan (upper left) and western India. In the case of the Indus River (far upper left) this sedimentation, containing large quantities of desert sand, combines with wave action to create a large sand-bar like delta. In the arid environment, the delta lacks much vegetation, but contains numerous mangrove-lined channels.
