In North America, rivers east of the Continental Divide flow into the ATLANTIC ocean.This was a Daily Geography question, wasn't it? ^^
Because rivers can't cross the rocky mountains and most of the country is to the east of them allowing the water to flow to the Atlantic ocean.
Some rivers have a lacustrine source but most river heads rise a springs. Rivers flow towards ocean sea level, they do not arise there.
Australia's rivers are unusual because they flow away from the coast rather than towards the coast. On all other continents, the rivers flow towards the sea. In Australia, a great number of them flow inland, either towards the Murray River, which eventually empties into the Southern Ocean, or into the inland salt lakes.Many of the inland rivers flood during the wet season, yet can dry up later in the year. The coastal rivers do not run dry.

Small streams flow into rivers and the rivers flow to bigger rivers.
All of the rivers in Siberia tend to flow north. These rivers flow north as they being pulled to drain into the Arctic Ocean.
