We mainly focus on two of the world's most famous rivers, the Missouri River in the U.S. and the Amazon river in South America. Below are pictures of each The Amazon River is located in northern South America. It is the second longest river in the world, behind the Nile. It runs across almost the entire width of South America from west to east. It has two seasons, spring and summer.
