The Amazon River is the largest river in South America and runs through the Brazilian rainforest. It is approximately 4,000 miles long and extends from the Peruvian Andes to the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n

The Amazon River extends about 6,400 kilometers (4,000 miles) into the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n

Where does the Amazon empty into the Atlantic? <\/h2>\n

The Amazon is the world’s largest river by discharge volume of water, and by far the largest by wetted perimeter and length. It is also the warmest and most saline of the world’s major oceans. The river is located in the countries of Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana.<\/p>\n

The Amazon River is responsible for a huge amount of water flow into the Atlantic Ocean every second. Approximately 219,000 cubic meters (7,740,000 cubic feet) of water flow from the river into the ocean every second. This is an incredible amount of water and is equivalent to the amount of water in 88 Olympic-size swimming pools. The Amazon River is a vital part of the Earth’s water cycle and plays a major role in the ocean’s water circulation.<\/p>\n
