Explanation :The Amazon River in South America is the largest river by discharge volume of water in the world. Lenght 6,400KM, Length in miles 3,976, Discharge area 7,050,000 Km^2 , Average Discharge 209,000 m^3/s.
A recent 2014 study claims that the origin of the Amazon can be traced to the Cordillera Rumi Cruz from where Peru’s Mantaro River originates. This river then confluences with the Apurímac River (whose headwaters were earlier regarded as the source of the Amazon) and then other tributaries join the river downstream to form the Ucayali River which finally confluences with the Marañón River to form the main stem of the Amazon River.

Explanation :River nile originates from Lake Victoria in east central Africa. Nile is the longest river in the world having length of 6,695 km (4,160 miles).
The Nile is an international river shared by 11 countries in Africa. However, it is the main source of water in two countries Egypt and Sudan. The Blue and the White Nile are the two tributaries of the river with the latter having a greater length than the former. The source of the White Nile is not yet fully determined but is believed to be somewhere in Burundi or Rwanda. According to some reports, Lake Victoria is considered to be the source of the White Nile which is, in turn, fed by the Kagera River whose two major tributaries are the Ruvyironza and the Nyabarongo rivers of Burundi and Rwanda, respectively. The Kagera is formed at the confluence of these two rivers near the Tanzania-Rwanda border. The Blue Nile has a more defined origin in Lake Tana in Ethiopia. The two tributaries meet near the Sudanese capital of Khartoum. The Nile River’s final course is through Egypt before it forms a delta and drains into the Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, River nile originates from Lake Victoria in east central Africa.
