亚马逊河位于赤道附近的热带雨林气候区内,那里终年高温多雨,降水量极大。再加上地形北面、西面、南面三面高,中间低,更有利于汇集雨林,亚马逊河流量高达每秒219,000立方米,是世界上水量最大的河流。其流量比尼罗河、长江、密西西比河的总和还要大几倍,所以亚马逊河比密西西比河流量大。
The Amazon River is located in the tropical rainforest climate zone near the equator, where it is hot and rainy all year round, with extremely high precipitation. In addition, the terrain is high on the north, west and south sides and low in the middle, which is more conducive to the collection of rainforests. The Amazon River has a flow of up to 219,000 cubic meters per second, making it the river with the largest water volume in the world. Its flow is several times greater than the sum of the Nile River, the Yangtze River and the Mississippi River, so the Amazon River has a larger flow than the Mississippi River.
Because the Amazon River is located in the tropical rainforest, it has abundant rainfall, many tributaries, and a large amount of water.
