The river flows in its [blank_start]channel[blank_end]. The bottom of the river is called the [blank_start]riverbed[blank_end]. The sides of the river are called the [blank_start]riverbanks[blank_end]. Usually, the river stays in its channel but sometimes, after heavy rains, the river overflows its [blank_start]banks[blank_end] and there is a [blank_start]flood[blank_end]. At other times, during the summer or during a drought, some rivers [blank_start]dry up[blank_end] completely and people can walk on the riverbed.
The river usually flows down to a [blank_start]lake[blank_end] or an [blank_start]ocean[blank_end] The place where the river meets the larger body of water is the end of the river and is called the [blank_start]mouth[blank_end].
Sometimes rivers flow very fast over rocks. These areas, which are called [blank_start]rapids[blank_end], are dangerous for boats. And sometimes, rivers flow over cliffs forming beautiful [blank_start]waterfalls[blank_end].
