Flood plain, alluvial plain, tidal plain, firth, inlet, bayou, estuary, slough, and river mouth are all terms that are synonymous with 'delta'.
In general, "delta" refers to the change or difference of something. In mathematics, delta often represents the change in a value or variable. In finance, delta measures the sensitivity of an option's price to changes in the underlying asset's price.
The River Severn is technically neither a delta nor an estuary. The River Severn is a tidal river that flows into the Bristol Channel. It has characteristics of both a river and an estuary, where the freshwater river meets the saltwater of the sea.
Delta T in thermodynamics refers to the change in temperature between two states or points in a system. It is calculated by subtracting the initial temperature from the final temperature. Delta T is an essential parameter for determining heat transfer and energy exchange in thermodynamic processes.
A river delta is a landform where a river divides into multiple smaller channels as it flows into a body of water such as a lake, sea, or ocean. Deltas are typically rich in sediment deposits and are important ecologically as they provide habitats for various wildlife species.

That is a 'delta'
A Delta is where a large river enters the sea which has a low tidal range.
Because the sea floods it twice a day.
The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon cause the tidal bulges.
The Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta in Bangladesh and India is the largest delta in Asia. It is formed by the confluence of the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers, covering a vast area of tidal plains and wetlands.
A river which arrives at the sea which has a high tidal range will not form a delta. This is because the change in the tidal area will wash the sediment brought down by the river away. It is the build up of sediment brought down by the river into a relatively tideless sea which forms the delta.
Flood plain, alluvial plain, tidal plain, firth, inlet, bayou, estuary, slough, and river mouth are all terms that are synonymous with 'delta'.
A major river which flows into a sea with a small tidal range will form a Delta. I think it is arguable whether the Amazon has a delta, at all.
The river tees is not a delta as the north sea (the sea it drains into) is tidal, meaning that the tides wash away the sediment that cause deltas.
The geographic definitions of a delta includes areas of water action such as an alluvial deposit at the end of a river as it empties into the sea, and a collection of minerals at the mouth of a tidal inlet. Since there are no permanent rivers on Antarctica that empty into the sea -- 98% of the continent is covered with an ice sheet, and the tidal inlets to open lagoons are non-existent, there is no occurrence of a delta on the continent.
