Answer 1

            The Mississipi River is a very important river to the United States. It is a major source of water for many towns and cities alongside it. Even though it is a significant source of water for crops and families, it sometimes is too much water. The Mississipi River floods frequently in the spring now more than ever. Climate change is bringing more rain, which brings more water to the river. This is one of the main causes that humans are creating for the river. This destroys crops, homes, land, and even animals. This destroys land that could have been used for new buildings, habitats for animals, and cropland. The flooding grows more and more each year with more and more rain. This is caused mainly by the Climate Change of our Earth, and the main cause for Climate Change, is us.
