Why do rivers flow from a high elevation to a low elevation?

Answer:

The higher the elevation, the further the stream is from meeting the sea. The term "base level" refers to the point at which a stream meets sea level or standing water, such as a lake or the ocean. Streams will work to reduce the depth of their stream beds until they reach the base level.
