amazon nehri

Amazon Nehri Güney Amerika'da yer alan Amazon Nehri (İspanyolca: Río Amazonas, Portekizce: Amazonas), Afrika'daki Nil Nehri ile birlikte dünyanın en uzun nehirlerinden biridir. Büyük Okyanusa 160 km mesafede, Peru'daki And Dağlarının doruklarından doğarak doğuya doğru bir seyir izleyip Atlas Okyanusuna dökülür. 6,400 km uzunluğundaki Amazon'un taşıdığı su miktarı Mississippi, Nil, ve Yangtze Nehirlerinin taşıdıkları suların toplamından fazladır (tüm dünya nehirlerinin taşıdığı suyun yaklaşık % 20-25 ini taşıdığı sanılmaktadır). Amazon Nehri, yaklaşık yıllık ortalaması 180.000 m³/sn olan debisiyle ve suladığı alanın (Amazon Havzası) büyüklüğü itibarıyla da birinci sıradadır. Denize döküldüğü Atlas Okyanusu kıyılarında genişliği yaklaşık 300 kilometredir. Amazon'un ağzı 1537'de Pinzon tarafından keşfedilmiş, nehrin kaynaklarıysa ancak 1941'de Bertrand Flornoy'un yönettigi ekip tarafından bulunmuştur. Ve çok yararlı olduğu keşfedilmiştir
