Deltas and moraines are both sedimentary structures formed over long periods by movement of water. A delta is built from rocks, mud, soil, etc., that washed down a river to the sea. A moraine is built from rocks, sand, gravel and soil carried down to a plain or the sea by a glacier.

What kind of rock is formed by weathering and erosion?
If those sediments undergo the processes of lithification, they would form a sedimentary rock; otherwise, they are just layers of sediments.
Where are moraines located?
Ground moraines are located at the base of the glacier.
