The Rhine, The Amazon, The Mississippi, The Nile

The Rhine, Amazon, Mississippi, and Nile are some of the world’s major rivers. The Rhine flows through Europe, supporting cities and industries, and eventually empties into the North Sea. The Amazon, in South America, is the largest river by volume, traversing dense rainforest and playing a vital ecological role. The Mississippi runs through the central United States, shaping the landscape and economy, emptying into the Gulf of Mexico. The Nile, Africa’s longest river, sustains its surrounding regions, providing water for agriculture and communities from East Africa to the Mediterranean. Each river influences its environment, economy, and cultures profoundly.
