A river starts as small streams high in the mountains that join together into one river. It winds across flat land in big bends and ends where it meets the sea.
In the picture
- Source: small mountain streams join to make one river
- Meander: the river winds in big looping bends across the plain
- Delta: the river splits into small channels around sandy islands and flows into the sea
Examples
- Rain running down a hillside joins up into little streams after a storm.
- On a map, a river near the sea often looks like a fan of thin blue lines.
Key takeaways
- A river flows from its source in the mountains to its mouth at the sea.
- On flat land, a river slows down and makes big bends called meanders.
