A delta plain is a landform that forms at the mouth of a river, where sediment is deposited by the river and forms a flat, low-lying area. There are many synonyms for a delta plain, including: river delta, deltaic plain, alluvial plain, floodplain, wetland, and marsh. These terms all describe the same type of landform, but with slightly different nuances. For example, "floodplain" suggests a flat area that is prone to flooding, while "wetland" emphasizes the importance of the area for wildlife and ecosystem services. Regardless of the synonym used, these landforms are important for agriculture, wildlife, and human settlements, as they are often fertile and provide protection from floods.
