Streams run into larger rivers.
Streams run into larger rivers.
These streams are called Currents. An example would be The Gulf Stream.
When two streams come together, it is called a confluence. At a confluence, the two streams merge to form a single stream.
The streams that contribute to a river system are called tributaries.
These are often called currents, but sometimes are just called streams e.g. The Gulf Stream
A noisy little stream is called a babbling brook. As the water flows over the pebbles in the stream it creates the noise.
Where a stream leaves a mountain range is called a Alluvial Fan. An Alluvial Fan is the sediment the streams leave behind as it leaves the range.
When rainwater flows into a stream, it is called runoff. Runoff is the movement of water over the land surface, ultimately reaching streams, rivers, and bodies of water.

Tributaries are streams that flow into one primary river. A tributary can also flow into another stream or a lake.
