Question

CollectorBabu · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: Mississippi. Bird foot delta is formed at the mouth of the Mississippi River. The shape of the current bird foot delta reflects the dominance the river exerts over the other hydrologic and geologic processes at play in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Mississippi is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States. A delta is a triangular landform, created from the deposition of the river in its mouth before meeting the ocean. The river mouth is where much of this gravel, sand, silt, and clay called alluvium, is deposited.
