eli5 What’s the difference between a rivet and a bolt

Question

Seriously I thought I could get a simple explanation but when I Google it it’s all diagrams and detailed terminology

EDIT: ok got my answer, thanks SoulWager

Answer:

Bolts are screws with a nut.

Rivets deform to expand larger than the hole.

There are various types of each, the simplest rivets are just a piece of soft wire or bar that you hammer to mushroom it out. More common are pop rivets, where you pull a pin through a sleeve, and the head on the pin mushrooms out the back side of the rivet.
