How does the formation of a natural levee related to backswamps and yazoo tributaries?
The area behind the levee is characteristically poorly drained for the obvious reason that water can not flow up the levee and into the river. Marshes called backswamps result. A tributary stream can not enter the river because levees block the way. Often it has to flow parallel to the river until it can breach the levee, These are called yazoo tributaries.

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.
