Exploring the River’s Path

Rivers are like long ribbons of water that travel across the earth. They start as tiny streams and grow bigger as they collect water from rain, other small streams, and underground sources. This water journey is what makes rivers so special.

How Rivers Shape the Land

As a river flows, it carries tiny pieces of dirt and rock along with it. Over a very long time, this movement can change the shape of the land, carving out valleys between mountains and making the soil fertile for plants to grow. It’s like a natural artist, shaping the earth with water instead of paint.

The Many Uses of Rivers

People have been building towns and cities near rivers for thousands of years. Rivers provide water for drinking, growing crops, and they can even create electricity when we build dams. Boats travel on rivers to carry goods from one place to another. It’s like having a road that moves!

Life Along the River

Rivers are also homes for lots of different animals. Fish swim in the water, birds fly overhead looking for fish to catch, and trees along the riverbanks provide homes for insects and birds. Each river is a bustling community of living things, all dependent on the fresh water it provides.
