Bluffs are a common geological feature along the Mississippi River, formed by erosion over time.

Bluffs, which are steep, elevated landforms, are commonly found along the Mississippi River. These landforms are the result of natural erosion processes that have worn away the riverbanks over thousands of years. As the river erodes the surrounding land, it creates these dramatic slopes, often made of sedimentary rock or soil. The bluffs along the Mississippi River contribute to the river’s scenic beauty and influence the local ecosystem.
