Answer 2

The many types are periodic, permanent, episodic, exotic and more.

• The main rivers can be categorised as -

• Perennial (or perpetual)

1. They flow continuously, regardless of level changes. In moist locations, this is typical.
2. Most of these rivers go into the ocean.

• Periodic

1. These are only fed by groundwater during the rainy season when the water table is higher than the riverbed.
2. These rivers run only sometimes. This is typical in arid regions.
3. Many periodic rivers can empty into interior drainage basins but many never get to the sea.

• Episodic rivers

1. They only flow during periods of intense rain and never receive groundwater.

• Exotic

1. Flow across arid regions with little or no freshwater. These can be either perpetual or cyclical.
2. These rivers originate in wet or hilly places and travel through incredibly dry areas such as deserts.

• Tributary

1. They flow into lakes or other rivers as opposed to oceans or other bodies of water.
2. Today's major rivers are tributaries of other rivers, which is a common occurrence.

• Distributary

1. These branch out from a single river to produce several new ones.
2. A fork is a location where these diverge from the main river, and themselves are referred to as channels or arms.
