The Amazon basin is part of South America that is drained by the Amazon River. The basin covers approximately 40% of the South American continent with a total area of over 2,600,000 square miles. Eight countries have part or all of their territory within the basin: Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela, though the majority of the basin is located in Amazonia in Brazil.
A river basin is any area of land that drains into a river system. The Amazon Basin is one specific river basin, namely all the land that drains into the Amazon River system (meaning: including all the streams and creeks that in turn flow into the Amazon.)
