hey friend here is your answer,
difference between Delta and Estuaries are
Delta,
1. deltas are fertile lands
2. deltas are formed in the region of the low tides and coastal plains
3.the triangular deposits made by the river formed at their mouth to form the delta
4.Ganga and Brahamputra, Krishna,Mahanadi form the delta.
5.delta is the landscape formed by the fine particle of rocks carried by river
Estuaries
1. Estuaries don't have fertile lands
2. Estuaries formed at the region of the high tides and in rift valleys
3. Estuaries are the sharp edges of the mouth of the rivers, devoid of any deposits
4. Narmada and Tapi rivers form the Estuaries
5. Estuaries are formed by large and sharp particle of rocks which was regularly replenished by the river

A river delta is a triangular river mouth with several branches, side flows and bayous. The delta is formed by the silt and terrain carried by the river flow along the river, and it little by little lenghtens the flow of the river towards the sea.
An estuary is a river mouth which resembles a funnel and which widens, deepens and opens toward the sea. An estuary is formed by a tidal bore, which ablates the riverbed and carries the silt out to sea.
The rule of thumb is that where there is a noticeable tide, the rivers form estuaries: where there is little or no tide, rivers form deltas. All European rivers which flow to Atlantic (tide present) have estuaries, such as Thames, Tejo, Loire, Seine, Rhine or Elbe. Those rivers which flow to Mediterranean (no tide), such as Tiber, Nile, Po or Ebro, form deltas.
Deltas are extremely fertile, and most civilizations of the old have formed along river valleys and deltas. Estuaries make excellent harbours and fisheries, and many important port towns are located on estuaries.
