Compare the characteristics of rivers and streams.

Answer:

Rivers and streams are flowing bodies of water. In the scientific community, a stream is any flowing body of water. In some countries, streams are defined by their size. For example, in the United States, a stream is a flowing body of water that is less than 60 feet wide. Other than size, rivers and streams have few differences. They are both an important part of the water cycle, have a current, and flow into another body of water.
