The Amazon River South America's Amazon River is the world's largest river by drainage volume of water, and by some standards, it is the longest. For several reasons, Amazon is the world's famous rivers. It is South America's largest river and the world's most extensive drainage system in terms of its flow volume and basin area. The Amazon River is vast, a dynamic water system that weaves through one of the world's most essential and fragile habitats, South America's Amazon rain forest. In terms of volume and width, it is by far the most powerful river on Earth, attaining a span of almost 30 miles (48 kilometers) in some parts during the rainy season. Many unique species of animals, trees, and plants are home to the river and its basin. The 4,000-mile (6,437 km) journey of the Amazon River starts high in the Andes. These mountains act as a wall that blocks the warm, moist air from the east, resulting in dense, persistent rainfall that feeds the headwaters of the Amazon consistently. The Amazon River is home to over 5,600 known fish species, including 100 electric fish species and up to 60 piranhas species. Here, too, the arapaima or pirarucu, one of the world's largest freshwater fish (up to 15 feet or 4.6 meters in length). The dolphin from the Amazon River is the world's largest river dolphin species; its color changes from gray to pink to white with age. #EverythingsInfo
