There were temporary river waterfalls where the Mississippi ran backwards during 1811-12 earthquakes. It happened when a thrust fault created a sudden dam several feet high near the bottom of the river loop near New Madrid.
Major tributaries in the lower section are the ARKANSAS, RED, and White rivers, all flowing from the west. The Mississippi enters the Gulf of Mexico (see MEXICO, GULF OF) about 160 km (100 mi) downstream from New Orleans, through a 26,150-sq km (10,100-sq mi) delta. Because almost 550 million metric tons (500 million U.S. tons) of sediment are deposited annually, the delta extends about 91 m (300 ft) each year.
