RE: ADSactly Education - Mississippi River Geology and Flow
The mighty Mississippi is the quintessential symbol of America’s expansive geographic diversity.
As a side note, the Missouri River is actually longer than the Mississippi. (I know that you correctly mentioned that the Missouri is a tributary of the greater Mississippi waters, it’s amazing that it is actually longer on its own than the great Mississippi. The Missouri River is 2341 miles long. That’s amazing that it is almost exactly one marathon distance longer than the Mississippi.
Yep. I actually am aware. Had the country been settled West to East the Missouri would be the second longest in the world. (Presuming the Mississippi would end at the current confluence with the Missouri). Another 1000 miles would make it an impressive river.
