Question 7 • RIDDLE-FL-2103300-World Cultural Geography B IEP EDIT 25/26

Which of the following statements about the Amazon River is false?

Answer
A
The Amazon River can grow up to 30 miles wide during the rainy season.
B
More than 1,000 rivers, creeks, and tributaries drain into the Amazon River.
C
The Amazon River is navigable by freighters more than 1,000 miles inland.
D
The Amazon River flows through Argentina and Chile.

Explanation

The Amazon River flows through Peru, Colombia, and Brazil, not Argentina or Chile. The other statements describe features of the Amazon: it widens greatly during the rainy season, receives water from more than 1,000 tributaries, and allows large vessels to travel far inland. Therefore, the false statement is “The Amazon River flows through Argentina and Chile.”
