For years, the Nile River in Africa has been known as world’s longest river. But scientists in Brazil now say the Amazon River may be 65 miles longer than the Nile.
The debate over which river is longest has been going on for hundreds of years. The problem is that it’s very hard to tell where a river begins and where it ends. The Amazon is especially tricky. Since the mouth of the river is so wide, it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact spot where it ends.
For now, experts want to look at the Brazilian scientist’s research more closely to see if the Amazon really is longer than the Nile.
I’m confused!
They are saying since the end of the river isn’t clearly defined it is hard to tell it’s length.
in school we were taught the nile was the longest river in the world but I did know a debate on if that was actually true was occurring hopefully scientists and researchers can soon define each river’s length and determine which one is longer
i think who cares.
If you ask me, who cares! (too bad no one asks me:))
THE AMAZON IS LIKE SO BIGGER THAN THE NILE [even though in school we learn the nile is the biggest river in the world]
WERD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
