What is the name of A river that flows into the Mississippi river?

The Missouri River is major Tributary of the Mississippi, as well as the Ohio and Illinois Rivers.

Occasional large wetlands occur along the river. One of the largest is the Innisville Wetlands, a provincially significant wetland that is also designated and Area of Natural and Scientific Interest. 4 Another large wetland is the Appleton Silver Maple Swamp.

These wetlands depend upon the seasonal cycles of the river. High water periods in the spring flood large areas creating wetland soils, and large areas of marsh. As water levels slowly fall, conditions suitable for swamp forests occur.

This natural seasonal alternation between high and lower water levels is essential for creating the natural diversity of wetlands along the river. Upstream, in Lanark County, there are two sections of the river that are important for their plant communities. 1 The first section of interest includes the east end of Dalhousie Lake and the swamp- and marsh-lined portion of the Mississippi River from the lake almost to Sheridans Rapids.

Shallow lakes and adjacent river make up the provincially significant McCullochs Mud Lake Wetland. The second portion of interest is the rocky, rapid-filled section of the river from Sheridans Rapids down to just past Playfairville. Here there are small populations of unusual species including Parnassia glauca (Grass-of-parnassus), Platanthera flava (Tubercled Orchid) and Spiranthes lucida (Shining Ladies'-tresses).

Downstream, where the Mississippi enters the Ottawa River, there are several important shorelines and wetlands, including the Mississippi Snye, which has a rich aquatic flora over marble bedrock, and has recorded observations for the musk turtle. The river originally powered textile mills. Today, it provides hydroelectric power.

Such power dams, however, have all but eliminated american eels from the river; these were once an abundant source of food for aboriginal populations, as well as providing a source of food for herons and otters, among other animals. There are many important natural areas along the river. One well-known example is the Purdon Conservation Area, which supports Canada's largest native colony of showy lady slipper orchids, some 16,000 plants.

The Carleton Place Hackberry stand, and the Innisville Wetlands, have both been mentioned above.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
