Both the Amazon and the Atacama desert owe their very existence to the Andes Mountains. The general flow of the atmosphere is from east to west in South America. As the Atlantic moisture is forced up the high Andes Mountains it drops most of its rain and snow on the eastern slopes that feed the Amazon River and its tributaries. Since the moisture has difficulty crossing the mountains, the western side lies in a rain shadow and little to no precipitation occurs, forming the Atacama Desert.
Both deserts have low rainfall, although the Atacama is the driest. The Mojave is classified as a hot desert while the Atacama is a cool coastal desert.
Both the Atacama and the Amazon owe their very existence to the Andes Mountains. The high Andes cause moisture from the Atlantic Ocean to condense and fall on the east side of the mountains, giving the Amazon basin copious amounts of rain. However, the mountains also prevent the moisture from reaching the western slopes, causing a rain shadow, preventing rain from falling there and creating the Atacama Desert.
well, the river is 10 times smaller and is tiny
They are all similar because they are all major rivers in their countries.
The Nile, Amazon, and Mississippi river are all alike because they all start with a northern source and then empties out into another river. Corrections: The Nile flows from South to North and the Amazon flows from West to East. None of the rivers empties out into another river. They all empty into the sea.
They all are major rivers Also, they are all the largest river on their continents.
they are the longest rivers in the world and they all have huge amounts of water and life forms in them
they are the longest rivers in the world and they all have huge amounts of water and life forms in them
They're the 3 biggest riversAdditional answerThe Mississippi is not the longest river in the world along with the other two. The Amazon and the Nile are about the same length and the third longest is the Yangtse. The Mississippi/Missouri is fourth.
They are alike by the are all the longest and bigest rivers in each of there individual continents
They are the longest rivers in each continents Africa, North America and South America. Correction: The Missouri River is the longest river in the U.S.
The Amazon, Nile and Mississippi rivers are alike in that they are the longest rivers in the continents in which they are found.
