What important river flows out the Andes mountain?
As the length of the Andes is in excess of 7000km long, they contain the sources of literally hundreds of rivers. Many of these flow to the Pacific in the West, but many of those rivers that flow to the East eventually flow into the Amazon. The most distant source of the Amazon from its outflow into the sea is a glacial stream on Nevado Mismi (18,363 ft high) in the Peruvian Andes. This progresses into the Ucayali which joins the Marañón and eventually the Amazon itself.

Did the amazon river once flow the opposite direction?
Yes, the Amazon River once flowed in the opposite direction. Around 11 million years ago, geological changes, including the uplift of the Andes Mountains, altered the river's course, causing it to flow eastward toward the Atlantic Ocean instead of westward. This transformation significantly impacted the region's biodiversity and ecosystem development.
How are the Amazon River and that Atacama Desert the alike?
Both the Amazon and the Atacama desert owe their very existence to the Andes Mountains. The general flow of the atmosphere is from east to west in South America. As the Atlantic moisture is forced up the high Andes Mountains it drops most of its rain and snow on the eastern slopes that feed the Amazon River and its tributaries. Since the moisture has difficulty crossing the mountains, the western side lies in a rain shadow and little to no precipitation occurs, forming the Atacama Desert.
