Rivers are one of the most amazing, beautiful, necessary for human life and natural phenomena.
Most people can name one or two of the ten longest rivers in the world.
After reading this article, you will be able to call as many as 10.
1. Amur-Argun (Amur-Argun) (calculated length — 4446 km)
It not only ranked among the ten longest rivers in the world, but is the largest river in the world, is not obstructed by the dam.
2. Of the Congo (Congo) (the calculated length is 4702 km)
Flowing into the Atlantic ocean, this river is also the deepest river in the world, in some places, having a depth of over 200 meters, and one of the major rivers, crossing the equator twice!
3. The Parana river (Parana) (calculated length — 4876 km)
They say it’s one of the best rivers in the world for bird watching up and down the river are often organized sightseeing cruises, presumably consisting of a huge number of watchers.
4. The Ob-Irtysh rivers (Ob-Irtysh) (calculated length — 5414 km)
This river begins in the melting glaciers in the Altai mountains and was on his way to Mongolia and China!
5. The yellow river (Huang He) (estimated length of 5464 km)
Starting in the mountains of Kunlun (Kunlun Mountains), the Yellow river, as it is often called, actually has a yellow color that carries in its waters, the silt downstream. She, of course, not all yellow, but some parts differ in this shade.
6. Yenisei-Angara-Selenga (Yenisei-Angara-Selenga) (calculated length — 5544 km)
Starting a flow in the Khangai mountains, she keeps his path to the Kara sea, and then flows into the Arctic ocean.
7. Mississippi (Mississippi) (calculated length — 6280 km)
I think everyone who read the adventures of Huckleberry Finn, a thousand times traveled on this river. In some places it has 11 kilometres wide!
8. Changjiang (Yangtze) (calculated length — 6304 km)
Also called Long river (Chang Jiang), it covers 20% of China’s territory and is characterized by extreme floods, which makes life around her is incredibly difficult.
9. Nile (Nile) (calculated length — 6853 km)
It meanders through the desert, leaving in its path a trail of green trees, and can only assume that she was the only source of water for members of one of the oldest civilizations — the ancient Egyptians.
10. Amazon (Amazon) (calculated length — 6993 km)
Some will argue that Amazon is the second longest river in the world, but are not in the right, as shown by recent satellite study. Whatever it was, it is also the largest river in affluent and area of the basin.
