The Amazon River or River Amazon (Portuguese: Rio Amazonas; Spanish: RÃo Amazonas) of South America is the largest river in the world by volume, with greater total river flow than the next eight largest rivers combined, and the largest drainage basin in the world. Because of its vast dimensions it is sometimes called The River Sea. Most sources regard the Amazon as the second longest river in length, though this is a matter of some dispute.
The area covered by the Amazon River and its tributaries more than triples over the course of a year. In an average dry season 110,000 square km of land are water-covered, while in the wet season the flooded area of the Amazon Basin rises to 350,000 square km.[citation needed] At its widest point the Amazon River can be 11 km/6.8 mi wide during the dry season, but during the rainy season when the Amazon River floods the surrounding plains it can be up to 40 km/24.8 mi wide.
The Nile is considered as the longest river.
