A floodplain is a flat, low-lying area next to a river that periodically floods, whereas a delta is a landform created at the mouth of a river where the river splits into smaller channels and deposits sediment. Floodplains are inundated by river water during floods while deltas are built by sediment deposition at the river's outlet.
