Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A natural levee on the main river prevents joining. A natural levee is a ridge or embankment that forms along the edges of a river due to sediment deposition during floods. In the case of a yazoo tributary, the natural levee on the main river prevents the tributary from joining the main river in that area.
