Rivers flow in the direction of the land which, due to ice age formations a long time ago, is often but not always south. The Nile flows from south to north.

No. I am a tried and true Texan. I have grown up with the Colorado River all over this big state. Recently, I visited my sister in Colorado and noticed that the Colorado ran in a different direction. I had forgotten that geography lesson way back in grade school where it told about the Continental Divide. When I asked her about the river flowing toward the west, she said she had never even thought about it, but I was freaked out because I am so familiar with that river to the southwest. It was interesting and stuck with me.

No. The Nile river flows north. So does the St. John's in Florida.

most rivers flow towards the equator. however, there are a few exceptions. the Nile flows away from the equator, so does the Maumee river in northwest Ohio

No. Rivers flow from a place of higher altitude, to a lower one. This might happen in any cardinal direction.

Nop. It depends on the river... There are a few that flow north. You can check at: http://www.worldatlas.com/aatlas/infopage/riversno.htm

not that I know of! The seine, for example, more or less blatantly flows northeast.

From high ground to the sea, whichever direction that may be
