Final answer:

Rivers and streams are fast-moving bodies of water that stay clear due to minimal silt accumulation, with organic material supporting ecosystems.


Explanation:

Rivers and streams are continuously moving bodies of water that carry large amounts of water from the source to a lake or ocean. The fast-moving water in rivers results in minimal silt accumulation, keeping the water clear. Energy input in rivers comes from organic material like falling leaves, supporting diverse ecosystems.
