    Rivers flow in channels from highpoints down to the sea, lakes, or other rivers over rocky, sandy or muddy river beds. Lakes are bodies of standing freshwater that fill bowl-shaped basins, most formed by glaciers. Oceans are the vast global bodies of saltwater covering over three fourths of the Earth, composed of seawater that is 3.5% dissolved salt, and make up 97% of the planet's water.
