A river is a large stream of water that flows across the land and empties into a larger body of water. A river usually empties into a sea or ocean.
Explain why flowing water in a stream goes in a lake or ocean?
Water always flows in the direction of gravity. After precipitation happens all of the water that has fallen on land collects and flows towards the sea. A lake is just a large storage of fresh water in land that is usually at sea level and therefore flows slowly, if at all.
What is groundwater that forms caves like?
Acidic ground water (rain-water that has absorbed atmospheric carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid) forms caves by dissolving the limestone as it flows through the joints & other discontinuities in the rock mass.

Which surface feature forms from the deposition of sand and silt particles?
A delta forms at the point where a river meets the ocean. As river water flows into the ocean, the water slows and sand and silt particles are deposited. This forms the fan-shaped landmass under the water known as a delta.
What is a large stream of water that flows across the land and empties into a larger body of water?
