Question
the mississippi river delivers pollution from land directly into which of these bodies of water? gulf of california pacific ocean gulf of mexico/gulf of america atlantic ocean
The Mississippi River flows southward and empties directly into the Gulf of Mexico (also referred to as Gulf of America in the option). The Gulf of California is associated with the Colorado River, the Pacific Ocean is on the west coast (the Mississippi is in the central US draining to the south), and the Atlantic Ocean is on the east coast, so the correct body of water is the Gulf of Mexico/Gulf of America.
