Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rivers always flow downhill due to gravity. The direction of flow may vary depending on the topography of the region, but in general, rivers will flow in the direction of downward slope to reach their destination, such as the ocean or another river. There is no preferred direction of flow, such as southward or northward, as it depends on the particular location and topography.
