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.
A small freshwater river or stream flowing into a larger river is called a tributary or feeder river. A tributary is a stream or river that flows into a mainstem (or parent) river or a lake. For example, a tributary can be a creek that flows into a river. Or it can be a small river that flows into a larger river. A tributary does not flow directly into a sea or ocean. Some large rivers can have up to 100 tributaries. The spot where the smaller and larger river meet is called a "confluence". In contrast, a body of water that branches off and flows away from the main river is called a distributary.
The stream is a tributary of the river.
A large stream of water that flows through the land and feeds into a river is called a tributary. Tributaries contribute additional water, nutrients, and sediment to the river, playing a crucial role in the river's ecosystem and hydrology. They can vary in size and can be found in various landscapes, including mountains, valleys, and plains.
