Where does the Tigris empty into?

In southern Iraq the Tigris River is joined by the River Euphrates. They run together as a single river roughly 120 miles (193 km), and empty into the Persian Gulf. The Iraqis call this confluence of rivers by the Arabic name, Shatt al-Arab, "Coast/Beach of the Arabs." The Iranians call it by the middle Persian name for the Tigris River, Arvand Rud, or "Swift River."Both great Middle East rivers begin on their own far north in the modern-day country of Turkey. The lower nearly half of the joined rivers, the last 50 miles or so, forms the border between the modern-day countries of Iraq and Iran (formerly Persia), down to the river mouth, where it empties into the gulf.The huge fertile delta between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, long known as Mesopotamia, literally means "between the rivers." In Greek, meso is "middle, between" and potam- is the prefix form of "river." Some of the world's oldest civilizations established in Mesopotamia thousands of years ago, and this region in Southwest Asia is also called, The Cradle of Civilization.

Why don't rivers run dry during long periods of freezing temperatures I understand that running water won't freeze but surely at the sources it would freeze and not enter the river?

most river sources are from underground springs. The water temperature in the spring is the temperature of the earth below the frost line. When water enters a river it is insulated from the air temperature by the surface ice so it continues to flow. In addition, the water in the river has insulated the river bed so that it maintains temperatures of the earth below and not the air above.

What states does the Columbia river run though?

I live in the wonderful state of Oregon, only about 20 miles from the Columbia. It originates in Canada, comes south into Washington and then makes a westward turn to form most of the state line between Washington & Oregon. It is the largest American river to flow into the Pacific and the 4th larges river in the USA. It's BIG & beautiful. Portland, Oregon is about 90 miles inland, but we get ships from the ocean because the river is deep enough to handle them.
