In North America the set of the rivers with the inflows flows. Colombia, Colorado, Missouri are large. But main as the queen among them, is, naturally, Mississippi. It is the real water symbol of the continent which represents unique power of water elements.
The Indian tribe of an algonkina gave Mississippi such name which in translation is meant by the "big river". In length this source of moisture makes 3765 kilometers, and in width more than two kilometers (in the widest place). In one second this river banishes through itself more than 670 thousand cubes of feet of water. The river flows across the territory of 10 states of the USA, and the basin of Mississippi covers even more zones – 31 state.
Its main inflows – Missouri and Ohio. Together these rivers make more than 1/6 from the land of all North America.
Mississippi spreads by summer and freezes in the winter. When Missouri falls into it, the river gets a yellow shade because of addition of clay and sand that is quite interesting show.
When inflow of Ohio adds the waters, Mississippi becomes deeper, deep and wide. In lower reaches thanks to it the river never freezes.
Source of Mississippi is Nikollet-Crick, and this river symbol of North America flows into the Gulf of Mexico. At the same time the river because of quantity of sleeves at confluence has an appearance of roots of a tree. And during floods, at big loss of precipitation and snowmelt, the river threatened to demolish the city New Orleans more than once.
Besides, Mississippi is very convenient for arrival of the Gulf of Mexico in depth of the United States (the river flows in the territory of the USA though its pool affects also Canada a little).
