Answer:
Estuary is an area where salt water of sea mixes with fresh water of rivers. It is formed in the region which has high tides and rift valley.
Delta is a low triangular area of alluvial deposits where a river divides before entering a larger body of water. It is formed in the region which has low tides and coastal plants.
The features of estuary and delta are determined by a region's geology and influenced by physical, chemical, and climatic conditions. The rivers that have a large catchment area, flows through longer distance and carry sediment which are not rapidly carried by ocean wave makes delta which is also one of the landform. Whereas Estuary is formed by those rivers which have the shortest catchment area, flows from rift valley and drains its water directly to the sea or ocean and any other form of the watercourse. The old civilizations were formed along river valleys and deltas due to its fertility. Many important port towns are located on the estuaries and they make excellent harbours and fisheries.
