The word is derived from Greek mythology. Amazon is the name given to a group of large, strong and aggressive women.

The Amazon River of South America is the largest river in the world with an average discharge greater than the next six largest rivers combined. The Amazon, which has the largest drainage basin in the world, about 7,050,000 square kilometres (2,720,000 sq mi), accounts for approximately one-fifth of the world's total river flow.Because of its vast dimensions, it is sometimes called The River Sea. At no point is the Amazon crossed by bridges.[4] This is not because of its huge dimensions; in fact, for most of its length, the Amazon's width is well within the capability of modern engineers to bridge. However, the bulk of the river flows through tropical rainforest, where there are few roads and even fewer cities, so there is no need for crossings.
