Question

How are rivers Formed?

Answer 1

Rivers usually begin in upland areas, when rain falls on high ground and begins to flow downhill. They then flow across the land , meandering, or going around objects such as hills or large rocks.

Answer 2

A river forms from water moving from a higher elevation to a lower elevation, all due to gravity. When rain falls on the land, it either seeps into the ground or becomes runoff, which flows downhill into rivers and lakes, on its journey towards the seas.
