The Amazon River is the largest river in the world by discharge volume of water. It is located in South America, and its basin covers almost 40% of the South American continent.<\/p>\n

The Amazon is the longest river in the world and also the largest river by discharge volume and drainage basin area. With about 7 million square kilometres, the Amazon basin is nearly twice as big as the Congo river basin. The Amazon crosses Peru (headwaters), Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil (mouth).<\/p>\n

The Amazon might be the world’s longest river, depending on who you ask. Most scientists believe the South American river is at least 4,000 miles (6,400 km) long – still shorter than the Nile, which is widely held to be the world’s longest river at about 4,132 miles (6,650 km).<\/p>\n
