Q: In which direction does water travel?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

After a heavy rain, you may find puddles of water standing in low spots. The same principle explains why water collects in ponds and lakes. Water travels downhill, so a depression in the ground fills with standing water. A pond is a small body of standing water. A lake is a large body of standing water. Most lakes have freshwater, but a few are salty. The Great Salt Lake in Utah is an example of a saltwater lake.

 Choices:

- backwards

- northwest

- uphill

- downhill


A:
downhill
