Water flows in rivers and streams due to the force of gravity pulling it downhill. The water follows the path of least resistance, moving from higher elevations to lower elevations, creating the flow that we see in rivers and streams.
Lakes and rivers
moving surface water
It is usually the other way round. Moving in the direction of water flow, streams merge together to form larger rivers, the streams are called the river's tributaries. The point of joining is called a "confluence".
They Create Deltas.
Rivers, streams, the Atlantic Ocean and other normal water sources.
Majority of rivers and streams have fresh water flowing in them.
Streams are merely tributaries of rivers. A river is the wider channel into which smaller creeks, streams and rivers flow. (Streams do not flow out of rivers.) Streams carry water from higher sources, emptying into the river. As more streams empty into a river, it tends to become broader, simply because of the greater volume of water it is carrying.
Streams, lakes and rivers.
streams are very small rivers, small amounts of water.
Moving water works by overcoming the force of gravity. Water moves downhill due to gravity, creating streams, rivers, and waterfalls. Wind, tides, and other forces can also influence water movement.
