In terms of length, the Amazon River is now the longest river in the world, surpassing the previously-held record of the Nile River. The Amazon River is approximately 6,400 kilometers (4,000 miles) long, while the Nile River is approximately 6,695 kilometers (4,160 miles) long. The Amazon River has been on a steady increase in length for the past few hundred years, while the Nile River’s length has remained relatively stable. The exact reason for the Amazon River’s recent increase in length is unknown, but it is likely due to a combination of factors, including changes in rainfall patterns, melting glaciers, and tectonic activity.<\/p>\n

The Amazon River has been longer than the Nile River since at least some time between the years 1968 and 1970.<\/p>\n

Why is the Amazon river longer than the Nile? <\/h2>\n

There is debate among geographers about whether the Amazon or the Nile is longer. This debate stems from whether or not one considers one of the tributaries of the Nile to be part of the Nile itself. However, the Amazon is larger than the Nile in terms of the amount of water that it discharges into the ocean.<\/p>\n

The Amazon River is the longest river in the world, with a length of 4,345 miles. It is located in South America and runs through the countries of Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela. The river is home to a variety of plant and animal life, and is an important source of water for the people who live in the region.<\/p>\n
