A river is described as a natural streaming waterway channelling into the ocean, sea, lake, or another river. The life of rivers begin when rain, ice, or snow, runs off the land. This creates tiny streams of water, travelling down mountain slopes. The water follows the cracks downhill, while shaping the landscape by wearing the rocks and surrounding lines. Small streams join together growing significantly bigger. It then empties out into the sea.
