How susceptible is this area to flooding compared to the mississippi river delta marshes and give a reason for your answer.?

Warning ! This answer doesn't come from me, i just made a google research and i think it's well explained :

" Orick is not as susceptible because there is a greater amount of vegetation creating anatural levee and the elevation of the town is 20-30 feet, which is higher than the 3 feet ofelevation in the Mississippi Delta."

Hope this helps !

Early in the story when tom finds an indian skull in the woods which he kicks in temper. the devil then makes his appearance and, as tom surveys him, he notices that the devil is neither "negro" nor "indian." in fact, he has a "swarthy" complexion and is "begrimed with soot."
