A river is a natural watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, a lake, a sea, or another river. In a few cases, a river simply flows into the ground or dries up completely before reaching another body of water.

In a few cases, a river simply flows into the ground or dries up completely before reaching another body of water. Small rivers may also be called by several other names, including stream, creek, brook, rivulet, tributary and rill; there is no general rule that defines what can be called a river, although in some countries or communities a stream may be defined by its size.

Lakes ations/animation1.html There are many kind of lakes such as an oxbow lake formed of the meander Artificial lake: A lake created by flooding land behind a dam, called an impoundment or reservoir, Lava lake: A pool of molten lava contained in a volcanic crater or other depression. Lava lakes that have partly or completely solidified are also referred to as lava lakes.

Snow and Ice Snow is formed when the clouds get really cold and it rains then the rain is turned into snow instantly Ice is water frozen into the solid state. Ice appears in nature in forms of snowflakes, hail, icicles, glaciers, pack ice, and entire polar ice caps.

Mist and fog Mist is a lots of small droplets suspended in air. It can occur as part of natural weather or volcanic activity, and is common in cold air above warmer water Fog is a collection of water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air at or near the Earth's surface

Rain Rain is very important to people and animals all over the world. Rain is very important to people and animals all over the world. Rain drops range in size from oblate, pancake-like shapes for larger drops, to small spheres for smaller drops.
