What is an amazing fact about the Amazon?
Source: Calillona, Peru.The Mouth(Delta) is located in North Eastern Brazil. The Amazon River is the world's second longest river. Only the Nile, in Africa, is longer. The Amazon however, at any one point in time has the highest amount of water flowing down it. No other river even comes close. It may not be the longest, but it is the widest. The Amazon produces approximately 20 percent of all the water that the world's rivers pour into the oceans on its own. The Amazon collects water from just over 40 percent of South America's Landmass, through the thousands of tributaries that join the main branch of the Amazon river. Of these tributaries, 17 are over 1600(1000 miles) kilometres long. From Iquitos in Peru all the way across Brazil to the Atlantic, the Amazon is between six and ten kilometres wide. The maps page has a picture that shows this effect quite well. The Amazon is even wider when it is flooded in the wet season. The first European found the amazon because he was 200 miles out to sea and noticed that he was sailing in fresh water. He turned toward shore and found the amazon river. Ships still today anchor in the outflow of the Amazon, to remove the marine life(barnacles) attached to their hulls (salt water organisms can't live in fresh water). The Amazon is the greatest river in the world by so many measures; the volume of water it carries to the sea (approximately 20% of all the freshwater discharge into the oceans), the area of land that drains into it, and its length and width. It is one of the longest rivers in the world and, depending upon who you talk to, is anywhere between 6,259km/3,903mi and 6,712km/4,195mi long. For the last century the length of the Amazon and the Nile Rivers have been in a tight battle for title of world's longest river. The exact length of the two rivers varies over time and reputable sources disagree as to their actual length. The Nile River in Africa is reported to be anywhere from at 5,499km/3,437mi to 6,690km/4,180mi long. But there is no question as to which of the two great rivers carries the greater volume of water - the Amazon. At its widest point the Amazon can be 11km/6.8 mi wide during the dry season. The area covered by the Amazon River and its tributaries more than triples over the course of a year. In an average dry season 110,000 square km of land are water-covered, while in the wet season the flooded area of the Amazon Basin rises to 350,000 square km. When the flood plains and the Amazon River Basin flood during the rainy season the Amazon River can be up to 40km/24.8 mi wide. Where the Amazon opens at its estuary the river is over 325km/202 mi wide! Because the Amazon drains the entire Northern half of the South American continent (approx. 40% landmass), including all the torrential tropical rains that deluge the rainforests, it carries an enormous amount of water. The mouth of the Amazon River, where it meets the sea, is so wide and deep that ocean-going ships have navigated its waters and traveled as far inland as two-thirds the way up the entire length of the river.

Why do scientist want to protect rain forest from being cut down?
scientists want to prevent this from keep happening because, it is killing the wildlife and sooner or later there will be hardly even no wild animals left because, they have no where to live. Also because, it would protect the environment and the earth.
Rain forests contain a very large number of different species of plants and animals, most of which live only in those rain forests. Rain forests have only been partially studied by scientists and there is still a great deal to learn about the various organisms which they contain. It is always possible for some species to have an important use for humans, such as some novel chemical substance that it produces, which might be used as an antibiotic, and so forth. There is also a general philosophy that it is not a good thing to cause the extinction of any species simply because when that species it gone, it is lost forever, and we would therefore be depriving all future generations, to the end of time, of any use that they would have for that species, even if the only use that they would have would be to look at it and to appreciate the beauty of nature.

How does deforestation cause soil erosion?
Trees are a natural cover against heavy rain and general water. However, when these trees are taken away, the soil gets the brute force of the rain without cover. Furthermore, when there is a flood or there is excess rain, the plants can't take in this water, and the soil has to soak it all up. When the water can't be soaked up, it sits on the soil, reducing its fertility and more importantly causing soil erosion. I hope I helped.
