Around 70 percent of Earth’s surface is covered by water, and oceans possess around 96.5 percent of the whole Earth water. Sea, river, lakes, creeks, ponds including oceans circulate Earth’s water to revive the living on planet. While differentiating in between river and creek, one doesn’t need any official or scientific guidelines as one of the most general difference between them is that rivers are of large size as compare to the creeks. A river is a natural steam, usually a repository of fresh water that flows in a channel to the sea, lake or any other river, whereas creek is a smaller and shallower stream as compare to river. It is often called a minor tributary of river. Creek is defined as the narrow waterway in between islands.
