Tributaries
1. These are rivers or streams flowing into a large river.
2. They may originate from glaciers or lakes.
3 The water of tributaries end up in a large river or lake so they do not change their course.
Examples: Yamuna is a tributary of Ganga, Missouri River is a tributary of Mississippi.
Distributaries
1. A branch of a river that flows away from it.
2. They originate from the main river.
3. They flow in different directions forming deltas.
Examples: Kollidam River is a distributary of the Kaveri River, Hoogli river is a distributary of Ganges.
