    Solution

    The Mississippi River forms the Bird Foot Delta. This type of delta, named for its resemblance to a bird's foot with multiple branching channels spreading outward, is located where the Mississippi River meets the Gulf of Mexico in the United States. The delta is characterized by its distributaries fanning out into the ocean, depositing sediments and forming new land.
