Seal level is the ultimate base level for rivers that discharge into the Oceans; thus sea level is the base level for the Mississippi River.

what is the base area for the mississippi river
The base level of a river or stream is the lowest point to which it can flow, often referred to as the 'mouth' of the river. For large rivers, sea level is usually the base level, but a large river or lake is likewise the base level for tributary streams. All rivers and streams erode toward sea level, which is also known as the "ultimate base level." If a river is dammed, a new base level (the level of the reservoir) replaces the ultimate base level. As a result, the stream's base level is raised. Consequently, this reduces the stream's velocity, leads to deposition, and a reduction of the gradient upstream from the reservoir. A rather rare exception can be seen in the Jordan River, for which the base level is the Dead Sea, 417 m below modern sea level.
Great sea
Close to the base level.
Lowering a stream's base level will cause the stream to do what?
The results of a lower base lever for rivers and streams is the sea level falls and the land rises. The base level is the level below which a stream cannot erode.

The base level of a river is the lowest place where it can flow, generally it's mouth. Therefore if a river or stream flows into another river, then the first river's base level is the point where it joins the other river.
The ultimate base level of a stream is sea level. A base level is the lowest point to which a stream can erode its channel.
Isn't it interesting that this exact (EXACT!) question is on my earth science CGS homework from earlier this week? Im interested to know who this is. And Snake River, Platte River, and Tryu River. hahaha interesting if you are also a freshman, this can't be a coincidence and the wabash river can also work
