Keep Reading to learn more about rivers ^_^
A river is a stream of water that flows into the ocean, another stream, or a lake. Rivers have existed for over three billion years. They are located all over the world, but some of the most famous rivers are the Colorado River, the Mississippi River, the Nile River, the Amazon River, and the Yangtze River.
The Nile river is the longest river in the world at 4,132 miles long (6,650 kilometers). This river is located in the continent of Africa, and passes through the countries of Kenya, Burundi, Rwanda, Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Eritrea, and Congo. The source of the Nile is the Blue Nile and the White nile, and the mouth of this river is located in the Mediterranean Sea.
The Amazon River is the largest and second longest river in the world. It is located in South America and passes mostly through Peru and Brazil. The source of the river is in Nevado Mismi, of the Andes Mountains in Peru, and the mouth of this river is located in the Atlantic Ocean.
The source of a river is where the river starts, and the mouth of a river, also known as the delta, is where the river ends. The three most polluted rivers on Earth is the Ganges in Bangladesh and India, the Yangtze River in China, and the Indus River, which flows through many different countries throughout Asia. Several activities can be done in rivers. Some of the most popular activities include fishing, riding boats, rafting, bathing, and swimming.
A river is usually freshwater, but some can be classified as a saltwater river. Rivers usually from from the overflow of a larger body of water like a lake, but they can also form from melted snow or ice from a mountain, and heavy rainfall. Erosion also occurs when water flows through land, forming a channel. As time passes by, a river can tend to become wider and wider.
Rivers are beautiful places in nature, but pollution is currently taking place in some of them. So, save a river, keep nature clean! :)
