Answer 2

The Mississippi River's first basin is called the Upper Mississippi River Basin, and it covers approximately 20,100 square miles. (A basin is an area of land that drains to a particular river or lake.)

A river is a natural stream of fresh water larger than a brook or creek. A river flows toward another river, an ocean, a lake, or other large body of water.

Harder - A river's source may be rainfall, a melting snowfield or a glacier, a spring, or the overflow of a lake. Streams that flow at a river source are the headwaters and are at the river's highest elevation. Most river headwaters begin in hills or mountain, but as the river flows downstream, it gains more water from other streams, rivers, springs, added rainfall, and other water sources.
