What happens to the amazon river after a big rain If it floods why does it flood If not why not?
After heavy rainfall, the Amazon River often experiences flooding due to the vast amount of water that drains into it from the surrounding rainforest and tributaries. The river's basin has a limited capacity to contain excessive water, leading to overflow into adjacent areas. Flooding occurs as the riverbanks are breached, inundating surrounding land. Conversely, if rainfall is moderate or localized, the river may not flood significantly, as it can accommodate the additional water without exceeding its banks.
