delta delta (A delta is a vast, fan-shaped creation of land, or low-lying plain, formed from successive layers of sediment washed from uplands to the mouth of some rivers, such as the Nile, the Mississippi and the Ganges. The nutrient-rich sediment is deposited by rivers at the point where, or before which, the river flows into the sea. Deltas are formed when rivers supply and deposit sediments more quickly that they can be removed by waves of ocean currents. The importance of deltas was first discovered by prehistoric man, who was attracted to them because of their abundant animal and plant life. Connecting waterways through the deltas later provided natural routes for navigation and trade, and opened up access to the interior. Deltas are highly fertile and often highly populated areas. They would be under serious threat of flooding from any sea-level rise)
demir iron (A malleable ductile silvery-white ferromagnetic metallic element occurring principally in haematite and magnetite. It is widely used for structural and engineering purposes)
demir dışı metal sanayi non-ferrous metal industry (Industry that deals with the processing of metals other than iron and iron-base alloys)
demir dışı metaller non-ferrous metal (Any metal other than iron and its alloys)
demir işleme sanayi ironwork industry (Industry for the production of iron articles)
demir sanayi iron industry (A sector of the economy in which an aggregate of commercial enterprises is engaged in the extraction and refinement of iron ore to produce cast iron, wrought iron and steel)
demir ve çelik sanayi iron and steel industry (Sector of the metallurgical industry dealing with the production of cast iron, steel and iron alloys.

dendrokronoloji dendrochronology (The science of dating the age of a tree by studying annual growth rings.

It is based on the theory that the width of the growth ring reflects the amount of rainfall and the temperature of the year in which it was formed)
