How many rivers flow north in the world?
Rivers That Flow North
Unless the land it totally flat, rivers of water run downhill. The vast percentage of rivers on the planet flow in a southerly direction because the source (usually in the mountains) is to the north of the mouth.
If the source of a river is at a higher elevation than the mouth, that river will run from the source to the mouth. However, if that (higher) source is to the south of the mouth, that river will then flow to the north.
Below is a partial list of rivers (length listed when known) that flow north. We haven't listed rivers that run to the northwest, or rivers that don't meet the exact requirements.
