Passage:
Rivers are vital to the ecosystem, playing a significant role in shaping the landscape and supporting biodiversity. They begin as small streams in the mountains, collecting rainwater and melting snow. As they flow downhill, rivers gather more water from tributaries, growing larger and stronger. Along their journey, rivers provide habitats for various plants and animals, serve as a source of fresh water for communities, and create fertile soil for agriculture. Eventually, rivers empty into larger bodies of water, such as lakes or oceans, completing their journey.
