Rivers flow because water always moves from high to low. Imagine a stream like a little kid running down a hill, it’s just following gravity! Over time, rivers can change shape by carrying rocks and dirt with them, kind of like how kids pile sand in the sandbox.
Examples
- A stream rushing down a hill is like water running from your hands into the sink.
- When you drop sand into a bowl of water, it sinks to the bottom, that’s what rivers do when they slow down.
- Rivers can change direction over time, just like how a person might take a different route home on a rainy day.
