In the natural world, reveberation is simply the term used when echoes arrive at your ears too close for you to individually distinguish them.
However,for
artifical reverb and 'echoes' (i.e. delay) the technology used for the two is often a little different. Tape loops or revolving magnetic heads for delays, springs or plates for reverbs. And DSP for both, of course.
Fundamentally, though, delay and reverb are the same: the repetition of a sound after it is made. They differ in extent.
