The Amazon River
The Amazon River (US 
/ˈæməzɒn/ or UK /ˈæməzən/; Portuguese:Amazonas; Spanish: Amazonas) in South America is the longest river[2] in the world and by far the largest by waterflow with an averagedischarge greater than the next seven largest rivers combined (not including Madeira and Rio Negro, which are tributaries of the Amazon). The Amazon, which has the largest drainage basin in the world, about 7,050,000 square kilometres (2,720,000 sq mi), accounts for approximately one-fifth of the world's total river flow.[3][4]

The Ucayali-Apurímac river system is considered the main source of the Amazon.
The width of the Amazon varies between 1.6 and 10 kilometres (1.0 and 6.2 mi) at low stage, but expands during the wet season to 48 kilometres (30 mi) or more. The river enters the Atlantic Ocean in a broad estuary about 240 kilometres (150 mi) wide. The mouth of themain stem is 80 kilometres (50 mi).[5] Because of its vast dimensions, it is sometimes called The River Sea. The first bridge in the Amazon river system (over the Rio Negro) opened on October 10 2010. It is just outside Manaus.
