A Tributary is freshwater stream that feed into a lager stream or river. The larger, or parent river is called mainstream. The point where a tributary mets the mainstream is called the confluence. Tributaries do not flow directly to ocean. Example of mainstream is Ganga in India. The term distributary means when a river separates from the mainstream and forms an another river is known as distributary
Tributaries and distributaries. They're branches of a river.
Tributaries flow into and distributaries flow away from.
Tributaries contribute to the river in the early stage. Where a river forms a Delta the smaller rivers which branch out are Distributaries.
As tributaries form to enlarge the river, distributaries form if there is a delta, but few rivers divide compared to those that only have smaller rivers contributing to them. No, they dont separate into separate watercourses.
