A delta is the soil that washes down a river and is deposited at the mouth of the river.

Great photo, Ms. Sue!! Perfect illustration.
Brennon, it's called a delta because it's in the shape of the capital delta in Greek, which just looks like a triangle: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/60/Greek_delta.png
