Answer 2

The Amazon basin is the part of South America drained by the Amazon River and its tributaries. The Amazon drainage basin covers an area of about 7,500,000 km 2 (2,900,000 sq mi), or roughly 40 percent of the South American continent. It is located in the countries of

Bolivia, Brazil , Colombia , Ecuador , Guyana , Peru ,

Suriname and Venezuela . [1]

Most of the basin is covered by the Amazon Rainforest , also known as Amazonia. With a 5,500,000 km 2 (2,100,000 sq mi) area of dense

tropical forest , this is the largest rainforest in the world.

Climate and seasons

The Amazon River basin has a low-water season, and a wet season during which, the rivers flood the adjacent, low-lying forests. The

climate of the basin is generally hot and humid. In some areas, however, the winter months (June–September) can bring cold snaps, fueled by Antarctic winds travelling along the adjacent mountain range. The average annual temperature is around 25 degree and 30 degree Celsius with no distinction between summer and winter seasons.
