亚马逊河是世界上最大的河流,而且大得有点夸张。亚马逊河位于南美洲,是世界流量、流域最大的、支流最多的以及第二长的河流。该河流共有一万五千条支流,分在南美洲大片土地上,流域面积几乎大如整个澳大利亚。流量是世界上最大的,比其他三条大河:尼罗河、密西西比河和长江的流量总和还要大。说到河流深度,也是比长江深很多。长江平均深度为25米,31米为较深的地方,而亚马逊河位于热带雨林气候区,支流众多,每年输入海洋的水量占到了世界河流输海水量的百分之20,深度更是可达45米。
The Amazon River is the largest river in the world, and it is a bit exaggerated. The Amazon River is located in South America. It is the world's largest river in terms of flow, basin, tributaries and the second longest river. The river has a total of 15,000 tributaries, which are distributed over a large area of South America, and its basin area is almost as large as the entire Australia. The flow is the largest in the world, greater than the sum of the flows of the other three major rivers: the Nile, the Mississippi and the Yangtze. When it comes to the depth of the river, it is also much deeper than the Yangtze River. The average depth of the Yangtze River is 25 meters, and 31 meters is the deeper part. The Amazon River is located in the tropical rainforest climate zone, with many tributaries. The amount of water it inputs into the ocean each year accounts for 20% of the world's river water output, and the depth can reach 45 meters.
