Best answer

Similarities between Loess Plains and Deltas : 

1. Both are the deposits of erosional fine materials on plains. 

2. Both loess plains and deltas are fertile lands. 

Differences between Loess Plains and Deltas:

1. While loess plains are formed with fine dust blown beyond the deserts, the deltas are formed with fine alluvial material transported by the rivers. 

2. While loess plains are formed in the neighbouring lands of the deserts, the deltas are formed at the mouths of the rivers. 

3. While loess are fine loam, rich in lime, very coherent and extremely porous, the deltas consist of clayey alluvial soils with a mixture of organic material. 

4. While deltas are formed by the action of rivers, the loess plains are formed by the action of winds
