Question

What characteristic gives the Red River its name?

Answer 1

Answer: A. The water collects minerals from reddish-orange soils.

Explanation:

The Red River (also called the Southern Red River) is located in the southern United States and flows southeast through Texas and Oklahoma.

Its name is due to the fact that the river transports large amounts of red soil, coming from the bed of its basin, during flood periods. Another important feature of this river is that it has a high salt content.
