Answer 1

Most rivers start in the mountains, flow towards lower ground because of gravity, and eventually into a lake or the ocean.

The water rarely comes from a single source, especially if it’s a big river (system). Usually they come from a whole area and is the result of rain pour and melting snow/ice in the mountains.
