How do levees cause erosion on Louisiana's coast?
Man-made levees can fail in a number of ways. The most frequent form of levee failure is a breach. A levee breach is when part of the levee actually breaks away, leaving a large opening for water to flood the land protected by the levee.

How does a levee form?
A man-made levee is made by making the slope with soil we buy. A natural levee is formed when a river floods over its banks, the water spreads out, slows down, and deposits its load of sediment. Over time, the river's banks are built up above the level of the rest of the floodplain. he resulting ridges are called natural levees.
What is it called when a natural man made river bank which rises above general level of the land?

Why was the levee invented?
Levee is from the french, the verb of which is "To Lift". Levees are exactly that - lifted roads - or roads built on a rise (natural or, more commonly, man-made) so that when the floods come, these roads are, hopefully, above the waterline.
Is a levee a landform?
