THE GANGES DELTA
Where the Ganges and several other rivers empty into the Bay of
Bengal, on the coast of Bangladesh and northeastern India, the
world’s largest delta has formed. In this satellite image of a part
of the delta, the dark green areas are a mangrove forest known
as the Sundarbans. The lighter green areas are cultivated land.
