In simple terms - gravity !... Water always flows to the lowest point, by way of gravity acting on the liquid. Therefore - since river sources are on high ground (such as mountains etc) - the water will always flow to the lowest point... sea level.

What were the purposes of the tigris and euphrates rivers?

Rivers are natural land formations. They haven't got any planned purpose apart from draining water from regions of higher altitude into regions of lower altitude, which they do all by themselves.


What is the movement of particles from regions of lower density to regions of higher density?

The movement so described is called diffusion. When particles of regions of higher density move to regions of lower density, they are said to diffuse.


What happens as the rivers flow across the regions?

Water moves from higher to lower elevations. The moving water can erode the soil and change the course of the river. Water from the rivers can provide a means of drinking water for cities or a method of transport for cargo.
