creeks
Smaller streams that flow into rivers are called tributaries. These tributaries contribute to the overall flow and volume of the main river.
Small streams and rivers that flow into larger ones are called tributaries. A tributary does not flow directly into a sea or ocean.
Sometimes streams will run into lakes; usually smaller lakes
Tributaries contribute to the river in the early stage. Where a river forms a Delta the smaller rivers which branch out are Distributaries.
The process where bits of rock in streams get smaller and rounder is a form of erosion. The force of the water going across the rocks forms the shapes of the rocks and slowly makes them smaller.

The network formed by a river and its smaller streams is known as a river system or a watershed. The watershed includes all the land area that drains into the river and its tributaries, with smaller streams feeding into larger ones before finally reaching the main river.
There are thousands of smaller streams and rivers that run into the James River. ~thank you for the answer but what are the names of those streams. (name a few)
The streams that contribute to a river system are called tributaries.
The process of bits of rock getting smaller and rounder in streams is called abrasion. It occurs as the rocks get continuously moved and collide with each other and the streambed, wearing away their edges and corners. Over time, this results in smoother and more rounded rocks.
