what do you mean by tributaries and distributaries
Answers
A confluence, where two or more bodies of water meet together, usually refers to the joining of tributaries. The opposite to a tributary is a distributary, a river or stream that branches off from and flows away from the main stream. Distributaries are most often found in river deltas.

Answer:
A Tributary: A tributary is that river which joins the main river, and increases the volume of water. It is generally found
in the upper or the middle course of a river. For example, the Yamuna is the main tributary of the river Ganga.
A Distributary: It is that river which originates from a main river. It is formed near the river’s mouth before it falls into
the sea. It is found in the lower course of the river. For example, the Hooghly is the main distributary of the Ganga.
