亚马逊河发源于秘鲁中部的科迪勒拉山脉,全长6751公里,在巴西境内3165公里,河面宽广,支流众多,流域和流量均居世界第一,水量占世界淡水总量的20%。由亚马逊河冲击而成的亚马逊平原面积705万平方公里,大多位于巴西境内。亚马逊流域适合植物生长,有浩瀚无际的原始森林,各种植物两万余种,盛产优质木材,并被誉为“地球之肺”。亚马逊河上游由黑河和索利芒斯河组成。索河河水为黄色,黑河河水为浓咖啡色,因比重、流速不同,两种河水在交汇处长达数十公里的河面上黑黄分别,互不相犯,成为一大景观。
The Amazon River originates from the Cordillera Mountains in central Peru, with a total length of 6,751 kilometers, 3,165 kilometers of which are in Brazil. The river is wide and has many tributaries. The river basin and flow rate are both ranked first in the world, and the water volume accounts for 20% of the world's total fresh water. The Amazon Plain formed by the impact of the Amazon River covers an area of 7.05 million square kilometers, most of which are located in Brazil. The Amazon Basin is suitable for plant growth. There are vast virgin forests, more than 20,000 species of plants, and high-quality timber. It is known as the "lungs of the earth". The upper reaches of the Amazon River are composed of the Black River and the Solimões River. The water of the Solimões River is yellow, and the water of the Black River is espresso brown. Due to different specific gravity and flow rate, the two rivers are black and yellow respectively on the river surface for tens of kilometers at the intersection, and they do not offend each other, which has become a major landscape.
It originates in Peru, South America.
Peru is a country in the northwest of South America, with a total area of 1.285 million square kilometers.
