Detailed explanation-1: -To geographers, the lower Mississippi has long been a classic example of a meandering alluvial river; that is, the channel loops and curls extravagantly along its floodplain, leaving behind meander scars, cutoffs, oxbow lakes, and swampy backwaters.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Mississippi River creates a physical boundary between the city of New Orleans and non-residential areas.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Mississippi Alluvial Plain, better known as the Mississippi Delta, lies to the west of the Loess Hills. Also called the Yazoo River Basin, this agriculturally rich area slopes gently from 210 feet above sea level at the Tennessee line to 94 feet at Vicksburg.
Detailed explanation-4: -This characteristic shape develops typically at river mouths, where waves and tides do not influence the amount of sediment supplied by the river. Such systems, exemplified by the Mississippi River delta, are called river-dominated deltas.
