User: what is a river
Weegy: The main parts of a river include a channel, in which the water flows, and a floodplain—a flat region of a valley on either side of the channel. Through the channel and floodplain, water and sediment—material transported by the river, [ such as sand and silt—are transferred from ridges and mountains to the sea or to a lake. A river starts on hillsides as small channels, or rills. The rills combine to make larger channels or tributaries that eventually come together, forming distinct streams. The largest channels formed by this convergence of tributaries are rivers, and they can carry large quantities of fresh water and sediment across continents. http:// /question/?qid=1006042901232 ]
