The geographical distribution of streams and rivers is influenced by factors such as topography, climate, and geology. Typically, rivers originate in mountainous or elevated areas where precipitation collects, flowing downhill through valleys and plains toward larger bodies of water like lakes or oceans. They are found on every continent, with significant concentrations in regions with abundant rainfall, such as tropical rainforests, and areas with extensive glacial activity. Additionally, river systems often form networks that drain specific watersheds, shaping landscapes and ecosystems along their paths.

Why do most rivers have wider channels than streams?
Streams are merely tributaries of rivers. A river is the wider channel into which smaller creeks, streams and rivers flow. (Streams do not flow out of rivers.) Streams carry water from higher sources, emptying into the river. As more streams empty into a river, it tends to become broader, simply because of the greater volume of water it is carrying.
