- ilstormcloud 5y agoMeans the volume of water and flaw rate, in the Nile is much less than the Amazon river.
- magicalhippo 5y agoWhile they have similar length[1][2], roughly 6500-7000 km, the discharge from the Amazon is roughly two orders of magnitude greater, 4200 m^3/s vs 209000 m^3/s average. There's also a lot more Amazon river to hold water.
