Location Summary

The Amazon River (UK: /ˈæməzən/, US: /ˈæməzɒn/; Spanish: Río Amazonas, Portuguese: Rio Amazonas) in South America is the largest river by discharge volume of water in the world, and the disputed longest river in the world.

The headwaters of the Apurímac River on Nevado Mismi had been considered for nearly a century as the Amazon's most distant source, until a 2014 study found it to be the headwaters of the Mantaro River on the Cordillera Rumi Cruz in Peru. The Mantaro and Apurímac rivers join, and with other tributaries form the Ucayali River, which in turn meets the Marañón River upstream of Iquitos, Peru, forming what countries other than Brazil consider to be the main stem of the Amazon. Brazilians call this section the Solimões River above its confluence with the Rio Negro forming what Brazilians call the Amazon at the Meeting of Waters (Portuguese: Encontro das Águas) at Manaus, the largest city on the river.

At an average discharge of about 209,000 cubic metres per second (7,400,000 cu ft/s; 209,000,000 L/s; 55,000,000 USgal/s)—approximately 6,591 cubic kilometres per annum (1,581 cu mi/a), greater than the next seven largest independent rivers combined—the Amazon represents 20% of the global riverine discharge to the ocean. The Amazon basin is the largest drainage basin in the world, with an area of approximately 7,000,000 square kilometres (2,700,000 sq mi). The portion of the river's drainage basin in Brazil alone is larger than any other river's basin. The Amazon enters Brazil with only one-fifth of the flow it finally discharges into the Atlantic Ocean, yet already has a greater flow at this point than the discharge of any other river.

Location Info

In Annie, Get Your Microphone, the Little Einsteins arrived at the Amazon River and the first piece of Annie's song has landed on the rock, but it's actually an Amazon River Turtle and soon, the Amazon River Turtle is swimming away and Leo told that the Amazon River Turtle doesn't know that he had a piece of Annie's song on the top of the shell, but the Amazon River Turtle is getting it away, so Rocket transform into a boat and follow the Amazon River Turtle. After transformation of the Rocket boat, they arrived at the tributaries, and Annie has to listen to her first piece that sounds really quiet pianissimo which is the left path. Soon, they arrived at more tributaries and Annie has to listen to her first piece that sounds slow, adagio which is the right path. After the two tributaries, they saw the Amazon River Turtle and Annie get the first piece of her song and thank to the Amazon River Turtle. Afterward, Rocket transforms back into a normal form and flies off. And unfortunately, Big Jet has finished singing his song and he's ready to defeat Rocket and his team before they try to retrieve 2 more pieces of Annie's New Song.
