<span>The margins surrounding the Atlantic ocean are passive, meaning they are not actively taking part in a continental rift or collision. Contrarily, the Pacific margin is active, as it occurs at a plate boundary. The Pacific Ocean is shrinking, while rifting in the middle of the Atlantic is causing it to grow.</span>
Answer:
The direction of rivers are usually expressed with respect to the directions we are familiar with: North, South, East or West.
A river has an origin, usually at a higher latitude and ends at the sea or ocean or a large water body. Gravity is the driving force for river flow. Hence, we gauge the ‘direction’ the water is going to flow for any river.
If we were going to get more technical, flow in rivers and streams are measured for their streamflow, which is the amount of water passing through some infinitesmal volume, i.e a point over time. The velocity of the water is determined using acoustic/Doppler based instruments, which will give the local direction of the flow of the river at the measured point along with the velocity.

Explanation:
The insolation is not the same across the planet, and it varies from one place to another. The variations occur mainly because of two things, one being the latitude and the other being the the type of surface.
The places that are on lower latitudes get more direct sunlight, thus more concentrated, and they manage to absorb more heat. The places on higher latitudes get sunlight at very low angle, thus very dispersed, and they absorb much less heat.
The surfaces that are without cover, on land, tend to have higher insolation. The surfaces that are with cover, or are water bodies, ice bodies, have lower insolation.
