Rivers of Guam
Guam is a tropical island in the western Pacific Ocean. It's a territory of the United States. Even though it's an island, Guam has many rivers and streams. These waterways are fed by rain that falls on the island's hills and mountains. The water then flows down to the coast.
Guam's rivers are usually not very long. But they are vital for the island's ecosystems. They support different kinds of plants and animals. Many of these rivers flow through lush green forests. They eventually empty into the ocean, often forming estuaries where fresh water mixes with salt water.
