What is the difference between moraine and outwash?

A delta forms where a river empties into a large body of water. It's usually something associated with medium to large rivers. It is generally the the build up a very fine particles of dirt (silt) that were in the river water. A moraine is formed at the end of a glacier where it dumps its load of rock. It will generally have large rocks, gravel, sand, and silt all mixed in together.
