Greek letter delta, shaped like a triangle, which is also the approximate shape of a river delta.
A delta is formed at the mouth of a river where sediment is deposited, creating a fan-shaped landform.

Essentially, a floodplain is an area that can be part of a delta but not all deltas have floodplains.
