<span>During the flow of the river, water force gets remains alongside the riverbanks. As the water hits a larger body of water, the force in its flow became slow and the sediments it picks up settled on the lowest point of the riverbed. During the time Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico hits each other, sediments are deposited and it created the South Louisiana land. In order to use this process to rebuilt wetlands, dredged material from the Mississippi River must be used to create alteration pipelines of sediments. This process replicates the building process of original land and sediments deposition. </span>

Which gulf is off the southern coast of the united states?

Brums [2.3K]

<h2>Answer: The Gulf of Mexico </h2>

The Gulf of Mexico is an ocean basin that formed after the collision of the continental plates and the sinking of the seabed during the rupture of the former Pangea mega continent millions of years ago.

This gulf is also the ninth largest water surface in the world, which is contained among the littorals of Mexico, the United States and the island of Cuba. Therefore, this mass of water corresponds to the Atlantic Ocean in the northern part of the American Continent.

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The Oceans are saline or salty because of the several natural occurrences. One of the reason is the rivers because it brings water with minerals by crossing over soil and stones, moving salt along the way, which adds into the oceans, results in salinity by evaporating the water.

Ocean salinity levels can change from place to place. The Mediterranean Sea is saltier. The Atlantic Ocean has access to the freshwater rivers, such as the Amazon which provide less salinity in the ocean.
