The nature of water is that water seeks its own level. Rivers are usually on land higher than the ocean, the higher the land is the faster it will flow, the lower the land is the slower it will flow. Rivers usually start in the hills or mountains, or sometimes a spring. The water wants to flow down with gravity; if it meets a natural obstacle such as rock or earth, it will eventually wear it away. Obstacle by obstacle it eventually flows to the ocean where it will level out with the water that's already in the ocean. Then it will flow no longer, now it is part of the ocean.
