The Holocene Mekong Delta is a good example of a delta that has evolved from a tide-dominated to a tide–wave mixed-type delta in its shape, sediment facies, and progradation rate during the regression after the maximum flooding during the Holocene. This evolution indicates that tide-dominated deltas developed well in the early phase of the highstand systems tract and that they changed into more wave-dominated deltas in response to subsequent regression.
