亞馬遜河
亞馬遜河(英文Amazon River,葡文Rio Amazonas,西班牙文Río Amazonas)喺南美洲,係世界水量至大嘅河。跟住排嗰九條河加埋,水流都唔夠佢來。亞馬遜河響亞馬遜盆地,係熱帶地方,森林滿佈,亦都成日會落雨,雨水就由盆地集埋入亞馬遜河,河水量佔世界五分一。河面闊到連橋都起唔到,不過就算起到,因為森林太大,都冇乜城同埋鎮響呢個地帶。
幾長
編輯由於長度測量方法冇公認準則,亞馬遜河嘅長度就有好多種唔同講法,其中一稱係常見嘅6,400公里[1],咁計就短過非洲尼羅河少少,做世界第二長河。2007年一班巴西同秘魯學者一齊話搵到新源頭,發表測量河長有6,992.15公里,所以長過尼羅河做世界第一長河[2]。但係事實上呢個河源早響1996年就已經被發現[3],同埋響2001年被學界確認[4],所以「新河源」同「新河長」係啱定係錯仍然要等全球地理學界檢驗。
