Question

The largest river in the world?

Answer 1

The Amazon River is the largest by volume flow and by drainage basin.  It is the second longest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_riv...

The Nile is the longest river in the world and one of the few that flows south to north.  The Nile is also the oldest river in the world.

According to Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Rive...

"The Amazon River (Portuguese: Rio Amazonas; Spanish: Río Amazonas) of South America is the largest river in the world by volume, with a total river flow greater than the next top ten largest rivers flowing into the ocean combined. The Amazon, which has the largest drainage basin in the world, accounts for approximately one fifth of the world's total river flow. Because of its vast dimensions, it is sometimes called The River Sea. At no point is the Amazon crossed by bridges."

If you list the ocean sources in the world by their drainage basin then again the Amazon is the largest river in the world.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dra...
