Question

How would I define the difference between creek and river 

Answer 1

Answer:

A river may be defined as a naturally occurring watercourse that mostly has fresh water, and that eventually deposits its load into oceans, seas or even other rivers. On the other hand, a creek is a small river or a rivulet. Creeks have all the characteristics that rivers possess with a few differences between the two.
