Streams and Rivers
Rain falls on the Earth. Some of the water soaks into the soil. Some makes puddles on the ground. Some of it runs downhill. Running water like this is called a stream. Streams often start high in the mountains.
Streams join together. They make a small river. There is more water flowing in a river. Rivers are bigger than streams. Rivers are long bodies of flowing water. The river bed is the bottom of the river.
The place where the water starts is called the source of the river. Small rivers join together. They make bigger rivers.
