TOP 5 LONGEST RIVERS
1. NILE :- The Nile is a major north-flowing river in northeastern Africa. It flows into the Mediterranean Sea. The Nile is the longest river in Africa and has historically been considered the longest river in the world, though this has been contested by research suggesting that the Amazon River is slightly longer.
2. AMAZON-UCAYALI-APURIMAC :- The Amazon River in South America is the largest river by discharge volume of water in the world, and the longest river system in the world though this has been disputed by those who claim it is the Nile.
3. YANGTZE :- The Yangtze, Yangzi or Changjiang is the longest river in Eurasia, the third-longest in the world, and the longest in the world to flow entirely within one country. It rises at Jari Hill in the Tanggula Mountains of the Tibetan Plateau and flows 6,300 km in a generally easterly direction to the East China Sea.
4. MISSISSIPPI-MISSOURI-RED ROCK :- The Mississippi River is the primary river, and second-longest river, of the largest drainage basin in the United States. From its traditional source of Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota, it flows generally south for 2,340 miles to the Mississippi River Delta in the Gulf of Mexico.
5. YENISEY-BAIKAL-SELENGA :- The Yenisey, also romanised as Yenisei or Jenisej, is the fifth-longest river system in the world, and the largest to drain into the Arctic Ocean. Rising in Mungaragiyn-gol in Mongolia, it follows a northerly course through Lake Baikal and the Krasnoyarsk Dam before draining into the Yenisey Gulf in the Kara Sea.
