Amazon or Amazon River is located in South America. It is the second largest river in the world in
terms of size and depth, where the Nile River ranked first in terms of length and in terms of the flow rate that exceeds the rate of flow of the eight largest rivers in the world who Alouna in the ranking combined. Amazon has the largest drainage basin in the world, and thus represents nearly a fifth of the total flow of the rivers in the world. Increasingly widening parts of the Amazon about 190 kilometers (120 miles) during the rainy season. Due to its breadth is sometimes called sea river. Do not interrupt any Jsur.sbb in the Amazon that is not its breadth, Frdah suitable for contemporary possibilities of engineers to build bridges. But the reason that the bulk of the river's water flow through the tropical rainforest, and the ways in which nature, as well as by a few cities, and thus there is no need for any bridges.
While the Amazon River is the most prolific river in the world, but the current data for Geographic Society suggests that the Amazon is the second longest river in the world after the Nile River. However, some scientists argue, especially from Brazil and Peru about it

Amazon Basin is the largest drainage basin in the world, covering about 40 percent of the area of South America, ie nearly 6,915,000 square kilometers (2,670,000 sq mi). And collects its waters from 5 degrees of latitude north to 20 degrees of latitude South. The headwaters are located farther between Andean plateau, near the Pacific Ocean.
The total area of the region covered by the waters of the Amazon River and its tributaries more than three times the march of years. The average area of land covered by water during the dry season 110,000 square kilometers (42,000 square miles), while rising land area flooded in the Amazon Basin to 350,000 square kilometers (135,000 square miles) during the season rain.
Amazon pours a tremendous amount of water in the Atlantic Ocean up to 300,000 cubic meters per second during the rainy season. Amazon provides the world's oceans by about 20% of the total volume of fresh water. Away from the mouth of the Amazon Beach, can draw drinking water from the ocean away from the coast, and indicates a decline in the salinity of the ocean five hundred kilometers to the sea.
