American rivers are based
Imagine having such a mighty river system

I'm going camping and canoeing on a river this weekend.
Yes but do they have the widest river? I don't think so.
tfw not near any of americas based rivers
>no northwest passage
fucking dropped
did you know that three of the worlds five oldest rivers are in America??
Yeah rivers are pretty neat
Saw a great youtube video were some fella explains how America's rivers play a massive part of why it is so wealthy and powerful. Mental how something you rarely think about could be so important.
America is so big! Did you know they have M I S S I S I P P I?
I'm a short walk away from a minor tributary of the upper Mississippi RIGHT NOW
Yes its extremely important to shipping and trade- lots of barges and tankers around here.
why doesnt that river in missuri just go to the left? its much easer
Just think, jump in, lie on your back and you could travel hundreds of miles.
It is 12 times cheaper to transport via river than land and it is also faster. Mental stuff.
What?
poor nevada.
but yeah, dat missisippi river boys, it's a hell of a river. almost died in it twice now
Well any product will need to find its way to roads eventually- to make it to the final destination. So its that last haul that gets prices the heaviest.
Imagine living in Nevada. Holy shit
all rivers go from upper regions to lower ones. have that in mind and check the green (higher) areas
*flows to the east AND west*
Now that's a cunt with a heavy flow.
eeeeeeeeeww
British riverlets
>New River
>260 to 325 million years old
Noice.
the best part about all these rivers is that our toxic waste just runs right down into the ocean. and then its not even our problem!
Why is it brown?
KANSAS RIVERS
We wouldn't be the nation we our today without our canals
That big river in the northwest is comfy as fuck, it goes through a desert carved out these huge canyons.
I like the names you have for your rivers. River names are likely some of the oldest words in existance
it's where they wash their skin so it can be whitened
.....nah m8, it's sediment accretion from upstream
That's a pretty massive expanse of water, desu.
Mersey gang senpai
silt, I prefer muh nigga river, smaller buy clear
Why do they call it silver I don't get it, it's like south america's Ganges
Actually there are very few rivers given the area. I'm sure smaller rivers are not represented
Hydrology is a really interesting subject. Seeing how the water shapes and affects the land and the life in and around it.
Because the retarded spaniards thought there was silver in it.
there are fucking zillions where I live. (Northern Chesapeake)
dumb conquistadors thought there were silver (the metal, Ag-108) deposits in the banks of that river
the lodes were found far north in dry land tho
nah, it's like bottled water in comparision, was named like that for zone itself and the way to the silver mines in the virreynato, not because the water was like silver or some shiet, having lots of sediments ist's like the standar for rivers with huge basins areas.
There are ancient river beds here where the river was blocked by ice age glaciers and forced it to flow different ways.
nigga just fly over all that shit it's like 2019 nigga
Thanks, so this just confirms (again) that spaniards are retarded
>3 Avon rivers
Explain
Massive glaciar melting times must be ebin as fuck, when I go to the mountains here feels weird to see huge canyons with tiny rivers rivers that in no way could have carved that
mind you before its definitive name it was called Mar Dulce, "freshwater sea". nigga like if it's not salty it ain't a sea
look at how fucking close it was to being a reality
The glaciers in the midwest carved out the Great Lakes. Chunks of ice that were left behind formed an entire region of wetlands called prairie potholes.
North of Buenos Aires you have the "Tigre" zone, named after fucking jaguars.
thanks dad
the fuck is wrong with manolos
see what you marked in red are hills and mountains where those rivers are BORN FROM (not GOING TO)
Just make some canals bruh. Let those invasive fish take over already fąm.
At one point the river was blocked and backed up, creating a lake half the size of Montana and it broke free insane force. These are topsoil ripples created from the flood like you would see at the bottom of a creek.
Very pretty
What is it like to live in a place so densely populated (still looks comfy compared to asian dense places tho), can you go and simply access any river and fish? I remember that a dutch in a thread said he didn't even see birds there, but it sounds a bit exaggerated
like nigga just put some wheels on your boat to cover that 100 miles of desert
my state supposedly has the most miles of river in the country, not sure if that is true or just close
shit has been flooding like crazy recently though when we had snow and ice build up and then it all melted the next day. my friend's house is on a lake near a river and their whole neighborhood got swallowed up by the flooding. also an educational farm that usually does kids school trips lost most of their animals due to drowning :/
I see birds on every lightpost i pass to home from work. You can fish anywhere you want except on private property and special eco zones. During mating time of some fish you have to release specific fish back into the water if you catched it. (Source: looked it up). Talking about density i live in West-Flanders close to Bruges wich is nice. Its more around the middle that it's packed. en.m.wikipedia.org
do people blame it on climate change?
not him but we've been hit hard with floods in Minnesota this year as well. We got a fuckton of blizzards in February whose accumulated snow made the rivers higher. Record floods though date back to 1965 so it's not that much abnormal. Half of St. Paul gets flooded out every April when the river rises, though I've seen people who start screaming climate change at something that's been going on for decades. Perhaps the greater snowfall is a symptom but the flooding in general is nothing new.
>wakanda lake
not directly usually but they might mention it, weather here has always been erratic with sunny, warm weather one day and then heavy snow fall the next etc but people talk about it
the poor weather is because of increased sin
come home black man
Depends, the more this city is growing higher the more native wildlife settles in and foreign species are dying, it might be a coincidence, climate change or we are building artificial higher places for birds that are in the middle of the ecosystem
Argentinian rivers are FAT
friend lives on north side of the platte on the lakes circled in pic related
Very nice. My respect!
some species like seagulls thrive around urbanized coastal areas with all the trash
we have seagulls in fucking Santiago, little shits are the real rats with wings, pigeons did nothing wrong
I noticed you can actually travel on British rivers which is neat. You can't really just take a boat down the Colorado river to get to Arizona.
I read Puerto Madryn have problems with them, apparently they're becoming really aggressive and pecking at the whales, the population seems to grow thanks tor the urban/fisheries trash. now they are appearing more frequently in the gulf off the coast of Rio Negro.
Exactly the same problem, give it a couple of years and some paper are going to show how they are evolving from scavangers to predator mode
*ahem*
Russia actually has more rivers, but they are frozen for up to 9 months of the year and not useful for shipping during the winter.
The US port system for comparison:
And Europe:
>australian river system
Where I live(East Coast) the weather is becoming more erratic and the past few summers have been astonishingly wet. The seasons also feel less gradual if that makes sense.
Sweet jesus, nature doesn't fuck around.
Here's a more detailed version
*drains your vital water supply for thirsty cash crops*
Rivers are fucking based and far superior to Seas, Lakes, or Oceans.
That makes it looks the veins of the USA or the nerves
Damn Mississippi
Nice.
nice try
Nevada is actually one of my favorite states. I love the desert..
How do I move to America? I've never seen a river in my life, I guess it's one of those things that only exist in the land of the free. I hope I can live on America one day and look at one of their incredible rivers
>I've never seen a river in my life
You should go to the Rhine, Elbe and Danube, which should be the borders of your country anyway
Only American rivers are worth looking at
