Detailed explanation-1: -River is a large natural stream of flowing water. Eventually all this water from rivers and streams will run into the ocean.

Detailed explanation-2: -These streams may slowly join together to form a larger stream or river. Small rivers and streams may join together to become larger rivers. Eventually all this water from rivers and streams will run into the ocean or an inland body of water like a lake.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: WATER THAT FLOWS IN THE STREAMS AND THE RIVERS AND INTO THE OCEANS AND LAKES IS CALLED THE WATER CYCLE.

Detailed explanation-4: -Rivers eventually end up flowing into the oceans. If water flows to a place that is surrounded by higher land on all sides, a lake will form. If people have built a dam to hinder a river’s flow, the lake that forms is a reservoir.

Detailed explanation-5: -An estuary is an area where a freshwater river or stream meets the ocean. In estuaries, the salty ocean mixes with a freshwater river, resulting in brackish water. Brackish water is somewhat salty, but not as salty as the ocean. An estuary may also be called a bay, lagoon, sound, or slough.
