The bold parts are the differences:
An alluvial fan is fan-shaped alluvial deposits created when fast flowing rivers slow down. A delta is a triangular area of alluvial deposits where a river divides before entering a large body of water.
If you dont understand:
An alluvial fan is just alluvial deposits in a fan shape. A delta is alluvian deposits in a triangular shape. Where and how they are created are totally different.
