The Amazon River is classified as a 12th-order stream according to the Strahler stream ordering system. This system ranks rivers based on their tributaries, with higher numbers indicating larger and more complex river systems. The Amazon's vast network of tributaries contributes to its high stream order, making it one of the largest river systems in the world.
