INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -1) Found in northeast Africa, the Nile has long been recognised as the longest river in the world – stretching a massive 6, 695km!

Detailed explanation-2: -The longest river in the world, measured from its mouth to its most distant, year-round source, is likely the Amazon, which flows 4, 345 miles from the Peruvian Andes through Brazil to the Atlantic Ocean. However, much depends on how you measure it.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Amazon is considered the world’s largest river by volume, but scientists have believed it is slightly shorter than Africa’s Nile. The Brazilian scientists’ 14-day expedition extended the Amazon’s length by about 176 miles (284 kilometers), making it 65 miles (105 kilometers) longer than the Nile.

Detailed explanation-4: -Flowing in China, Yangtze River is not only the third longest river in the world but also the longest river in Asia. It is 6, 300 km long.
