About this subject
The Amazon River is the world's largest river by water volume and one of the longest, stretching approximately 6,400 kilometers. It originates in the Peruvian Andes and flows through Brazil, Colombia, and Peru before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean. Its watershed is home to the largest tropical rainforest on Earth, the Amazon, which produces about 20% of the oxygen produced on the planet.
