Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A natural levee on the main river prevents the yazoo tributary stream from joining with the main river in the area. This is because the natural levee acts as a barrier, preventing water from the tributary stream from flowing into the main river channel, and directing it to flow parallel to the main river instead.
