can rivers be hot? which river has the highest temperature?

Answer 1

Technically, rivers *could* be hot. A river fed from a hot spring, or other water source heated by underground activity, would be hot to begin with. But it would soon cool. It is hard to imagine any circumstance in which a permanent river of hot water reached the sea.

That said, some rivers must be averagely warmer than others. Whether temperatures are constant enough to give a realistic answer to which river is the warmest, I do not know. I await some specific replies with interest. Their temperature would presumably depend not so much on the temperature of the source water as on how much it was heated by sunlight as it flowed.

My guess would be that the best candidate would be a tropical river that flowed slowly and was shallow. It is an interesting question, but I do not know the answer. These are just speculations.

Answer 2

after careful research it is clear that the question is not answerable.
First, the term "hot" is relative.
Second, how are u recording the temp. In the hottest spot, as an average, over what distance.

There are too many factors, all variable, that effect river temp. from spot to spot - so how do u average it for a record. Recording this information for the purpose of a "record" is therefore impossible because it would be meaningless.

Answer 3

yellow river!!!
