Historically, some of the shallow areas of the state of Para were built up by Amazon floods.

Was the Amazon River formed by a river?
Some geological evidence indicates that the Amazon River started to form over 200 million years ago when the present South America continent was still part of Gondwanaland. The Amazon River then flowed west into the Pacific Ocean. When Gondwanaland split apart about 140 million years ago, the South America plate was adrift until it collided with the Nazca plate, crushing the western edge of South America to form the Andes. The Andes blocked off the former mouth of the Amazon River, creating a huge fresh water lake that drained into the Atlantic Ocean while erosion formed the Amazon River Basin over the next 50 million years. +++ Just Gondwana, not Gondwanaland. It's a common mistake, a tautology because "wana" means "land"!
