Greatest River?

"greatest river on Earth" - NPOV? - Hemanshu 10:46, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)

This is too unspecific. Greatest what? Volume? Area? Voice? --Menchi (Talk)â 10:48, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)


It's a nonspecific word, that's true. But there's a controvery on wether or not it's the longest - Nile is longer traditionally, but it's a close call and small inaccuracy adds up. Likewise for other measurements: Volume, area, rate of flow. We do have to find something else to put here.

Major revisions

I've just moved a lot of stuff around, re-written a lot of stuff, revised things from 1911 that are way out of date and generally, hopefully, improved this article a lot. Still pretty patchy, though, there's loads about Dom Pedro opening up trade in the 1850s and hardly anything about wildlife. But I thought it was improved enough to take the notice off about needing attention. Feel free to put it back if necessary. Worldtraveller 21:03, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

clarify this please

"In the year 1500, Vicente Yañez Pinzon, in command of a Spanish expedition, became the first European to explore the river and ascended the Amazon to a point about 50 metres from the sea." (from "Name subsection)

Fifty metres? He explored fifty metres? Is this accurate?Pedant 07:23, 2004 Oct 24 (UTC)
Don't know where that number came from. It appears he explored the mouth of the river, on discovering that the ocean around there was fresh water. Worldtraveller 00:13, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Name in opening paragraph

The opening para used to say it was called the River Amazon in UK English. While we say 'River xxx' for all our own rivers and some foreign ones (eg River Nile) I've never heard anyone call it the River Amazon, so I removed that bit. Worldtraveller 00:13, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

You have watched too many American programmes on TV. In English, the word "river" always goes first. The other word order ("Colorado River", etc) is acceptable only in where it is the locally used name (i.e. in the US and Australia). Chameleon 12:19, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Are you British? Have you ever heard anyone British say 'River Zambezi', 'River Mekong', 'River Yangtze'? I doubt it - we don't ever refer to those rivers like that, and nor does anyone call it the 'River Amazon'.Worldtraveller 22:36, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Yes, from London. Of course I have heard or read those and others (the Seine, the Rhône...) with "river" first. I have also heard Brits ape the Americans by putting it after. The tendency to forget the normal order increases with the distance away from the UK (and therefore the likelihood that the person has got to know it from watching some US documentary). Give it a few decades and I'm sure we'll be drinking out of "aluminum" cans beside the "Thames river" and watching films in "theaters", but not quite yet. Chameleon 22:58, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Good, me too. I'm not the kind of person to let americanisms encroach on the language we speak on this island, and I am certainly not 'forgetting the normal order' or aping anyone, I've simply never heard any British person refer to the Amazon as the River Amazon. It sounds as weird to me as 'Thames River' does. Most common usage would probably be calling it simply 'the Amazon'. My most recent change to the opening para reflects that, hope that's acceptable to all.
I would definitely refer to the River Zambezi and the River Yangtze that way. Likewise the River Amazon. The "Amazon River" sounds like it should be some minor river in Connecticut. 82.36.26.229 18:10, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

82.36.26.229, I kind of took that the wrong way. I know all of you are from England, but we should just keep it in the middle, like requested earlier, "The Amazon". I'm just not used to calling any river with it's name second. It looks weird to me.

Name

This subsection says what names the river bore earlier but not when or why it came to be called Amazon. Weird.

The Name

Why or How did the Amazon come to be named the Amazon River?

Amazon name

spanish dude travelled the length of river, waz attacked by savage warrior women called dem amozans, so river waz called dat!

more likely, long haired male warriors.

Tapajós listed twice

In the #Longest rivers in the Amazon system section, Tapajós is listed twice. I believe this makes the whole list suspect. --cesarb 19:57, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Point of Interest

I'm not much of one to contribute since i'm not good at this type of writing, but it might be interesting to point out the annual wave that travels down the amazon and its ability to be the potential "endless wave." Cool tie in to surfing i think.

Sources of moisture

I thought that most of the rain that falls in the Amazon Basin is generated through evapotranspiration within the basin. Also - the idea that moisture moves inward from the Atlantic, across a whole continent, before being forced to rise by the Andes seems rather unusual to me. Can anyone source this information? Guettarda 14:00, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Amazon basin is definitely in the Trade Wind zone and these blow monotonously to the west, except of course during El Ninos. The tropical Atlantic generates a tremendous amount of moisture and the trades blow this across the Amazon Basin to the Andes. I don't have a reference for this. The ITCZ is well known. Yes I guesss half of the moisture is recycled, but still precipitation greatly exceeds evaporation. Hence the unparalleled volume of water in the Amazon User:Zyzzy

Possible Mistake

In the second para the flow rate is given as '184,000 metres cubed during the rainy season'. However, the table on the right gives it as closer to 220,000. Which is correct? Surely the figure in the table, as the average flow rate all year round, should be lower than the figure in the text?

I'm no expert, but I found this from one website.

"Flow rate is an important measurement when examining a river’s size. The average flow rate of the Amazon River is about 200,000 cu m/second (7,100,000 cfs). However, during flood levels the discharge of the Amazon increases to nearly 300,000 cu m/second (10,000,000 cfs). For comparison, the average flow rate of the Mississippi River is 16,800 cu m/second (593,000 cfs), and its flood discharge at St. Louis, Missouri, during the floods in the summer of 1993 was 30,000 cu m/second (1,000,000 cfs)."

Could this be more accurate? Interestingly, I did find a page that gave the flow rate as "184,000 cubic meters (6.5 million cubic feet) per second in the rainy season" (direct quote) which seems to suggest the person who wrote this page got the info from that site. However I would like to respectfully point out that the name of the website http://www.junglephotos.com/amazon/students/homework/amazonfacts.shtml does sort of suggest it was never meant for serious study.

Some update:

Actually both figures are correct but the measurements are taken at different locations. 219,000 is the average at the mouth while 184,000 is rainiy season value for around 960 km (?) upriver. Sources:

It may be incorrectly stated that...

^This statement made me laugh... The following one does not look right either.

The Amazon River ... is the longest river on Earth, the Nile River in Africa being the other.

Contradicting Information

In the main box of information the length is stated as 6296 Km, whereas the section the Longest rivers in the Amazon system the length is stated as 6762 Km. If the second of these is correct then the river becomes the longest in the world as the Nile is stated as being 6695 Km. If someone can find a reliable source to find which is correct, that would be nice

Actually older lexigraphic information gives about 6518km for the length, i think the whole thing is mainly due to the debate about the real source. My suspicion is that 6296 km is definitely wrong and the correct answer somewhere above 6500 km. It would be nice if someone could research the official data from some cartographic institute or some brazilian government statistics. Additional note: Encarta and Encyclopedia Britannica both list the length as >6400km

--????

In 2001 a Research Expedition confirmed that the source of the Amazon River is at Nevado Mismi and Río Apurímac is to be seen as the main headwater of the river, and no longer Río Marañón which is shorter than Río Apurímac. This might explain that in many encyclopedias this information has not been taken into consideration yet.

--Meister 18:44, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately the national geographic article is not really helpful at all. While confirming the apurimac as source river, which seems to common consensus now (?), it gives a length that is shorter than the other figures and thus contradicting its own information (source = spring farthest away from the mouth). My guess would be a factual error by the article concerning the length data. Also the article still fearures different/contradicting length information at different locations. It might be helpful to use the same throughout the article and maybe have a note/comment on the different length data on the amazon in general.

Length of the Amazon River

With the help of satellite photography it should be possible to survey the length of the Amazon River anew after the source of Río Apurímac at Nevado Mismi has been confirmed as the river's true origin (instead of Río Marañón which had been believed to be the Amazon's source until the 1970s).

Using Google Earth, I have attempted to measure the Amazon from its source at Nevado Mismi to its mouth on the Atlantic shores in 25 km segments. This way I have worked out the total length of the Amazon River as being 6,386.8 km (3,968.6 mi).

I measured each 25 km segment in partial segments of 40 m (Google Earth elevation: 7,292 ft), and have specifications of latitude and longitude for each 25 km-stopover noted down below.

I ask all the Wikipedians to check the different segments and note down below where their length differs from my measurements. When you write down differing length, you might do it this way: "Segment 175-200 = 25.322 km" (= Distance from Point 175 to 200) and note it down at the bottom of each river's name.
