The Mississippi Delta is primarily shaped by erosion caused by the river's powerful water flow and sediment deposition. Weathering can contribute to the breakdown of rocks and sediments in the delta, but erosion from the river's activities is the dominant force shaping this region.
Erosion and deposition formed the delta. Sediments were carried south by the river from the central US, including its tributaries including the Ohio, Missouri, and Red Rivers.

The delta is located in southeast Louisiana, with offshore barrier islands that extend south of the state of Mississippi in the Gulf of Mexico.* While the Mississippi River Delta exists in lower Louisiana, there is also another area in the northwest of Mississippi that is called the Mississippi Delta that exists between the Yazoo and the Mississippi Rivers. They are about 300 miles apart and only the Mississippi River Delta is a genuine delta.
