Local climate can change it depending if you are near the equator and where you are in the world. Say if its hot, the lake may be hot too. If the climate is cold, such as it is in winter, the rivers could be frozen. They may even have freezing water.

Rivers evaporate by the sun rays With presipitation(rainfall) they can overflow and flood surrounding land

How do slope and gravity affect rivers?

Slope affects the speed of a river's flow: steeper slopes lead to faster-flowing rivers. Gravity influences the direction and force of the water flow within the river channel. Together, slope and gravity determine the erosion, sediment transport, and overall shape of the river over time.


How does gravity affect the movement of water and ice?

Gravity affects the movement of water by pulling it downward, allowing it to flow downhill and form bodies of water like rivers and lakes. In the case of ice, gravity causes it to flow very slowly over long periods of time, known as ice flow, especially in glaciers where the ice slowly moves downhill under its own weight.


Does water run along earth's surface because gravity pulls it from lower places to higher places?

Yes, gravity causes water to flow along Earth's surface from higher elevations to lower elevations. This is why rivers and streams typically flow downhill, following the natural slope of the land.


Rivers flow west?

In general, rivers flow downhill from higher elevations to lower elevations, which often means they flow from east to west due to the rotation of the Earth and the tilt of its axis. However, this is a generalization and not a universal rule as rivers can flow in any direction depending on topography and other factors.


What does gravity affect in the water cycle?

Gravity affects the movement of water in the water cycle by causing precipitation to fall as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Gravity also influences the flow of water downhill as runoff into rivers, lakes, and oceans, as well as the movement of groundwater underground.
