the deep inland delta channels las canales profundos de las deltas interiores Explanation: . -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2014-03-23 10:17:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 'deep' is in reference to the deltas' physical depth, not the fact that they are far inland, distant from the coast - we know this because of the comparison with "extremely shallow Colorado River".... |

the deep inland delta channels los canales profundos del delta interior Explanation: No es un matiz pequeño: se refiere a un delta en concreto, el de Sacramento-San Joaquín o delta de California, que efectivamente es un delta interior o invertido: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacramento-San_Joaquin_River_De... Y por eso -Delta- va con mayúscula en el original. El original no está redactado muy bien y parece que Sacramento y Stockton son otra cosa, pero realmente pertenecen a este accidente geográfico, comparar imágenes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wpdms_usgs_photo_sacrament... https://www.google.de/maps/place/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delt... El hecho de que se llame también delta de California lo dice todo: The Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta, or California Delta, is an expansive inland river delta and estuary in Northern California in the United States. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 horas (2014-03-23 14:49:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yo lo dejaría en: los canales profundos del delta de California |
