The correct answer is - A. reduce the amount of sediment deposited on floodplains and increase the amount of sediment deposited at the river's mouth.

The Mississippi River is one of the biggest rivers in the world. It is also a river that carries with it very large amount of sediments. The levees built along side it though do not allow the natural process of deposition of sediments on the floodplains of the river. That results in the river carrying the sediments down to the river mouth. Because of this, the river mouth is becoming an ever-growing delta because of the constant deposition of very large amounts of sediments. This also causes lot of the sediments to end in the coastal parts of the sea, which makes the sea waters shallower and murkier, as well as creating new land forms alongside the coast from the deposited material.

Nezavi [6.7K]

The correct answer is - A) Texas is the second largest state in the United States.

The fact that Texas is the second largest country in the United States, after Alaska, doesn't have anything to do with its culture. The state can be very small, or very big, and still have either big diversification, foreign influence, or be homogeneous in cultural aspect.

Texas is as it is because it has both, Latin American and American influence, and that is what it's making it beautiful and unique in its own way.

What ate the four types of general landforms how do geographers define them and what are the characteristics of each one?
g100num [7]

Answer:

Mountains, hills, plateaus, and plains are the four major types of landforms. Minor landforms include buttes, canyons, valleys, and basins. Most geologists classify a mountain as a landform that rises at least 1,000 feet (300 meters) or more above its surrounding area. A hill is a landform that is higher than the surrounding land and has a visible summit; they're like mountains, only shorter. A plateau is a flat, elevated landform that rises sharply above the surrounding area on at least one side. A plain is a broad area of relatively flat land.
