Tributaries are streams that flow into one primary river. A tributary can also flow into another stream or a lake.
A river or creek that flows into a larger river is known as a tributary. Tributaries contribute water, sediment, and nutrients to the main river, enhancing its flow and ecosystem. They can vary in size from small streams to significant rivers, and their confluence with the larger river is often referred to as a junction or confluence point.
A small river or stream that branches from a larger river is commonly referred to as a tributary. Tributaries contribute to the flow and volume of the main river, often draining into it and enhancing its ecosystem. They can vary greatly in size and length, and their confluence with the larger river can significantly influence the hydrology and sediment dynamics of the area.
