The primary erosion agent that shaped the Mississippi River is water, specifically through the processes of hydraulic erosion and sediment transport. As water flows over land, it scours the soil and rocks, gradually carving out the river's channel and banks. Additionally, the river's flow has been influenced by ice during glacial periods, which contributed to its initial formation and the deposition of sediments that created its current landscape. Over time, this dynamic interplay of water and sediment has shaped the extensive river system we see today.
