The Amazon River is the largest river in the world by discharge volume of water. It is located in South America and runs through the Amazon rainforest. The river is approximately 6400 kilometers (4000 miles) long and its Amazonas basin covers an area of about 6.4 million square kilometers (2.5 million square miles), which is about 70% of the area of Brazil.<\/p>\n

Yes, the Amazon River does connect to the ocean.<\/p>\n

How far out into the ocean does the Amazon river flow? <\/h2>\n

The Amazon River is one of the most impressive rivers in the world. It discharges so much water into the Atlantic, that, more than 160 kilometres into the open sea, you could still drink freshwater from the ocean. The river has more than 1000 tributaries, and more than 25 of them are over 1000 kilometres long.<\/p>\n

The Amazon River is one of the largest rivers in the world, and it is responsible for a large amount of the water that flows into the Atlantic Ocean every day. Approximately 219,000 cubic meters (7,740,000 cubic feet) of water flow from the river into the ocean every second. This is a huge amount of water, and it is one of the main reasons why the Atlantic Ocean is so large.<\/p>\n
