Amazon river flowing in South America is the largest river in the world by volume with river flow greater than the next 8 larger rivers in the world combined together and it has one-fifth of the total world’s water flow in rivers. Since it has this much popularity, it is also called as “The river sea.”
It is the largest river by measures by geographic but Nile holds the record of Longest river in the world in a slight length. The Amazon is responsible for about 20% of the total volume of freshwater entering the oceans worldwide. It crosses the borders of Peru, Colombia, Brazil and Ecuador and so these regions people don’t admit that Nile (6650 km) is the longest river than Amazon (7062 km).
