How many gallons of water does the Amazon River pour into the Atlantic Ocean every second?
Think about how quick one second is...now consider this....in one second the Amazon pours almost 60 million gallons, or 620,000 cubic yards of water, into the Atlantic Ocean. This massive influx of fresh water actually dilutes the ocean's salinity, or saltiness, for up to 100 miles offshore. To put this massive amount of water into perspective keep in mind that one days worth of water flowing out of the Amazon is the equivalent of 12 years worth of water usage by the city of New York. Put another way, the average back yard swimming pool is about 30,000 gallons, the amazing Amazon River dumps enough water into the Atlantic Ocean every second to fill 2,000 swimming pools! EVERY SECOND!

What are the busiest international air routes in the world?
Barcelona-Madrid as of September 19, 2006 - this is the busiest flight route overall, but it is actually domestic - in addition with the new high-speed train link between Barcelona and Madrid it is probably no longer as busy as it used to be
The busiest international route could be either of two, depending on who you want to offend: Hong Kong - Taipei with some 600 connections per week is probably seen by some as a domestic route but you certainly have to fly an international flight London Heathrow - Amsterdam with some 350 flights per week is the busiest European international route and the busiest international overall if you exclude the Chinese 'pseudo-domestic' routes

How many days did it take the Titanic ship to cross the Atlantic ocean?
Short answer: about 5-1/2 days.
Or, is the answer you're after "never?" RMS (Royal Mail Ship) Titanic never arrived in New York. She struck an iceberg late in the evening of her fourth day out and sank early the next morning, April 15, 1912. But I researched this answer using the maiden voyage time of her sister, RMS Olympic. According to , Olympic made her first crossing in 5 days, 15 hours and 2 minutes, traveling 2894 miles at an average speed of 21.43 knots. Titanic surely would have done about the same had she arrived in New York.

Why are so many major cities located on the Atlantic ocean?
The world's largest cities are all located on the coast or by a water source. This is because you must have water to survive, so cities usually form near water so they can use the surrounding water for life. That's why there are many large American cities on the coast, as there would be for any country.
