Its length is 6400 kilometers, second only to the Nile, and it is the second longest river in the world, with a drainage area of 7.05 million square kilometers. It is estimated that about 20-25% of all water flowing on the earth's surface is in the Amazon River. The estuary is 240 kilometers wide, and the flood season flow reaches 6.5438+0.8 million cubic meters per second, and the annual average flow of the estuary is 6.5438+0.2 million cubic meters per second. The displacement is so large that the sea water becomes weak within the range of 160 km from the shore.

2. Congo River, also known as Zaire River, is the second longest river in Africa, with a total length of about 4,700 kilometers and a drainage area of about 3.7 million square kilometers. Because it flows through both sides of the equator, abundant precipitation in the northern and southern hemispheres is replenished alternately, which has the characteristics of large amount of water and small change during the year. The average annual discharge of the estuary is 465,438+0,000 cubic meters per second. If divided by flow, Congo River is the second largest river in the world after Amazon River. The estuary forms a deep drowning valley, and the waterway extends to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean 150 km, forming a vast freshwater ocean outside the estuary.

The water quantity is also the third in the world. The total basin area is 6.5438+0.807 million square kilometers, with an average annual inflow of about 960 billion cubic meters and an average annual discharge of 30,500 cubic meters per second in the estuary.

4. The La Plata River, with a total length of 4 100 km, is the second largest river in South America after the Amazon River, with a total drainage area of 3 103000 square kilometers, an average annual flow of 25370 cubic meters per second and an annual runoff of 800 billion cubic meters.

Fifth, as the largest river in India, the Ganges River originates from the Himalayas, with a total length of more than 2,700 kilometers, including 2 100 kilometers in India in the middle and upper reaches and 500 kilometers in Bangladesh in the lower reaches. The river basin covers an area of 6,543.8+0,600 square kilometers, and the average annual discharge of the estuary is 2,565,438+0,000 cubic meters per second; Among them, the length of India is 207 1 km, the drainage area is 950,000 square kilometers, and the average annual flow is 1.25 million cubic meters per second.

The Yenisei River is the largest river in Russia and one of the largest rivers in the world. Located in northern Asia, on the west side of the Central Siberian Plateau. The richest river in Siberia. The total length is 4 130 km, the drainage area is 2.707 million square kilometers, the average annual runoff is 6 1000 billion cubic meters, and the average estuary flow is 19300 cubic meters per second.

Seventh, the Mississippi River is 6262 kilometers long, starting from the source of the Missouri River, the largest tributary of the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, and is the largest river in the United States and the fourth longest river in the world. Covering an area of 3.22 million square kilometers, it has gathered about 250 tributaries. Abundant water, the average annual flow near the estuary reaches 6.5438+0.88 million cubic meters per second.

Eighth, the Lena River, with a total length of 4,400 kilometers, is the tenth longest river in the world, with a drainage area of 2.49 million square kilometers (the ninth in the world). Lena River is the longest river in Russia. The average annual discharge of the estuary is 1.7 million cubic meters per second, and the annual water inflow into the sea is 488 cubic kilometers.

Ninth, Mekong River is the largest river in Southeast Asia. Originated in the northeast slope of Tanggula Mountain in China, it flows through Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Viet Nam from north to south and flows into the South China Sea. The total length is 4 180km, and the total drainage area is 81.1.000km2.. The Mekong River has an average annual population of 475 billion cubic meters and an average estuary flow of 65.438+0.5 million cubic meters per second.

Tenth, Orinoco River is an important river in South America. It originates from delgado Charbold, the western slope of Palama Mountain on the border between Venezuela and Brazil, and surrounds the western and northern edges of Guyana Plateau, and finally flows eastward into the Atlantic Ocean. The annual precipitation in the Orinoco River basin is above 65438 0.400 mm, and the average flow in the estuary reaches 65438 0.4 million cubic meters per second.

1. Most of the Amazon River is in Brazil. Brazilians proudly call it "rivers and seas". The Amazon River is the pride of Latin American people. The Amazon River nourishes the vast land of South America and breeds the largest tropical rain forest in the world, making this region the most mysterious "kingdom of life" recognized by the world.

Ganges is a sacred river in the eyes of Hindus. The water in the Ganges can wash away sins and troubles, so taking a big bath in the Ganges is what Hindus most yearn for and enjoy. The biggest bathing should be said to be the Mana Temple Fair in Hinduism, with tens of millions of people taking part in the bathing every time. Unfortunately, it is not easy to take turns to hold it in various holy places every 12 years. However, throughout the Ganges, no matter in the upper, middle and lower reaches, no matter in spring, summer, autumn and winter, there are always Hindus bathing all day. Because most Hindus throw their bodies into the Ganges after death, the pollution of the Ganges is extremely serious.
