How rivers are formed?

Answer 1

Rivers are kept full by thawing snow in higher elevations that run downhill for centuries along the same path....as time goes by, the river digs deeper and deeper into the ground. There are actually lots of rivers in the deserts, they are all just covered up by sand and underground.

When rain falls, some of it sinks into the ground, but not of it. The water that flows over land is called surface runoffor overland flow. Overland flows remove soil and rock, and carve out channels and streams. These channels eventually deepen into rivers.

Answer 2

Rivers are formed by precipitation or melting snow and ice at high elevations. Gravity forces the water down slopes towards seal level, which forms rivers that often flow into and form lakes, ponds, swamps, bays, seas, and other bodies of water before discharging into the ocean.

Answer 3

A river is formed when a stream of water flows into another body of water, whether lake or sea and flows directly into the sea.... That is how a river is formed%%%%%%%%%$$$$$$$$$$
