<span>The Mississippi River is the largest and most important river in North America. This great river, often referred to as the “Mighty Mississippi,” originates as a small brook flowing out of Lake Itasca in Minnesota and, 2,340 miles later, empties into the Gulf of Mexico. It is truly one of the nation’s most important assets. Covering forty-one percent of the forty-eight contiguous United States, its watershed stretches across the heart of the nation. This vast river system, which includes several large tributaries, drains 1,260,000 square miles, making it the largest drainage basin in terms of area in North America and the third largest in the world</span>
Answer:
lead to erosion and less rainfall
Explanation:
Trees avoid land erosion because they act as stoppage by clinging to soil. Lands with many trees/forests face very little erosion while deforested land tend to erode very rapidly.
Heavily forested areas like Western Washington also tend to receive a significant amount of rainfall, because trees make the air more humid by evaporating water from their leaves.
Thus, we can see that deforestation in Washington would lead to higher rates of soil erosion, and less rainfall.
America is the 3rd largest continent, behind Asia and Africa.
