Because the earth bulges near the equator, the source of Mississippi River, althorugh high above sea level, is nearer to the centre of the earth than its month. How can a river flow `'uphill'`?

Many great rivers flow towards the equator, what effect does the sediment they carry to sea have on the rotation of the earth?

Many great rivers flow toward the equator. The sediments that they carry, increases the time of rotation of the earth about its own axis. The angular momentum of the earth about its rotation axis is conserved.
