Prereading

freight
Another type of water feature is running water, or water that flows from one place to another. The most well-known is a river. A river occurs when water follows a path and flows downhill due to gravity. Rivers can be wide and deep or shallow and slow. Many large rivers are used for freight transportation, and barges carry heavy goods down the river.

Geological Features

source
Rivers are fascinating, because they can flow such a long distance and have an interconnected system. Rivers have a source, or a place where they begin. The source is often found in higher land, like a mountain. Sometimes the source comes from a natural spring, which is a place where underground water appears above ground. Smaller rivers from many sources can eventually combine to form a large river. This large river can also branch into smaller rivers
outlet
The longest river in the world, the Amazon River, runs from west to east across almost the entire continent of South America. There are many sources, most of them found in the tops of the Andes River in Peru. This river has three outlets where it flows into the Atlantic Ocean. For most of its course, the river flows through the Amazon rainforest.
eroded
Eventually all rivers will change the land that they cover. The Grand Canyon is an example where the river ran through layers of rocks. The rocks were eroded by the water, and the water formed a path at the bottom of a huge canyon. All water in rivers will also eventually flow into a sea or ocean. Throughout history, rivers have played an important role in determining where to build cities in order to have fresh water.

Eventually all rivers will change the land that they cover. The Grand Canyon is an example where the river ran through layers of rocks. The rocks were eroded by the water, and the water formed a channel at the bottom of a huge canyon. All water in rivers will also eventually flow into a sea or ocean.
