Explanation

The Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta (also called the Bengal Delta) is the world's largest delta, covering approximately 105,000 square kilometers across Bangladesh and India. It forms where the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers empty into the Bay of Bengal. The Nile Delta, while famous, covers only about 25,000 square kilometers, and the Mississippi Delta is smaller than both.
