The offshore or coastal or littoral regions have very rare experience of extreme variations in temperature, this is due to the fact that the heat capacity of water is higher than it is on the land which means that it takes longer time for water to vary its temperature i.e., it takes longer time for water to get heated or be cooled. Therefore, it goes with the established fact of heat capacity of water that the regions far away from the ocean or littoral regions experience extreme temperature variations as compared to the areas closer to the coastal regions and these areas have moderate temperature i.e., neither too hot in summers nor cold in winters.
The Mississippi delta is located on the northwest part of the state of Mississippi and is the most southern place on earth and is 7,000 square miles of alluvial flood plains are created by the regular flooding of the Mississippi and Yazoo rivers for thousands of years.
The river deposited sand, and clay, silt along its banks and in adjacent basins, and is shaped of a bird's foot reflecting the dominance of the river over the hydrological and processes. As the river changes its course the natural flow of freshwater and sediments change as well.
