By definition all rivers run downstream, with the possible exception of tidal effects where the river meets the sea (as the tide comes in, in some places the water may run "backward" up the river for a usually short distance).
Why does the Nile flows upstream?
It does not. Actually it does. I'm in 6th grade and learning about that.The Nile flows upstream because of gravity. The majority of the Nile runs south to north because of gravity. However, there are also parts of the river that run north to south, ex. about 200 miles in Sudan. At no point, however, can the river run upstream. Upstream by definition is opposite the flow of the river (Merriam-Webster).
What are two ways you can identify which way is upstream on a river?
