Different Types of Rivers Around the World

Image
 Rivers are constantly changing systems rather than simple channels of flowing water. Their characteristics depend on climate, terrain, geology and the amount of sediment they transport. One way to classify rivers is according to flow duration. Perennial rivers flow throughout the year. Intermittent rivers flow during specific seasons, while ephemeral rivers usually carry water only after rainfall. Rivers can also be classified by their channel pattern. Meandering rivers form curved paths across floodplains, while braided rivers consist of several channels that divide and reconnect around sediment bars. These river types are important in physical geography because they demonstrate how flowing water shapes the Earth's surface.

he Highest Mountains on Earth

Image
  Mount Everest is famous around the world, but it is only one of several extraordinary peaks found in the Himalayas and Karakoram. At 8,848.86 meters, Everest has the highest elevation above sea level. K2, Kangchenjunga, Lhotse and Makalu follow it in the global ranking. The 14 mountains that rise above 8,000 meters are called the eight-thousanders. All of them are located in either the Himalaya or Karakoram mountain ranges. If you're interested in geography, mountain ranges or world records, this collection of peaks offers a fascinating look at Earth's extreme elevations.
