Why The Amazon River Has No Bridges? ๐คฏ One of the World's Longest Rivers ๐
Did you know that the Amazon River, the longest river in the world at 7,100 kilometers, has no bridges along its entire length? ๐ค Thatโs right - this incredible river flows across almost all of South America, from west to east, yet no one has ever built a bridge to cross it. Why is that? ๐ง๏ธ The Amazon flows through vast tropical rainforests ๐ด where heavy rainfall occurs year-round. This constant rain causes the river to overflow its banks, with its width expanding from 1 to 10 kilometers - and during the rainy season, up to an unbelievable 50 kilometers! ๐ This makes building a stable bridge incredibly challenging. But thatโs not the only reason. ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ Scientists have discovered the Hamza River, an underground river flowing beneath the Amazon. This hidden waterway makes the soil in the region unstable, creating additional complications for construction. ๐ง On top of that, the Amazon region is sparsely populated ๐ฅ with very few highways or transportation hubs nearby. For the people who live here, water and air transportation ๐คโ๏ธ have always been the most practical ways to travel. Building expensive bridges in such a remote area, where they wouldnโt connect major cities or support heavy traffic, simply isnโt practical. ๐ฟ

They have planes right?
River under the river ๐ฎ
50 kms WIDE ? ๐ฎ๐ฎ
Build a pontoon track
Send Chinese construction engineers to give a chance
I think I just found my new favourite Geography YT channel after
GEOGRAPHY NOW!!! But sadly their journey is now come to an end๐ข
If they can make a bridge from New York to London they can definitely make a bridge over some puny river
And Americans still think the Mississippi is somewhat to be amazed at
How about a floating bridge?
Now we need an entire video about the river underneath the river ๐
they must have a lot of car ferries ๐ค๐บ๐ธ๐
I like that they said "Look" cause I was not looking by god how'd dey know
All my brain generate is that scene in avatar with those swamp benders.
Because Indiana Jones keeps cutting them in escape scenes!
About the Hamza "river:" It's really a slow moving aquifer.
The Amazon is 1-100 km wide and flows at 2 meters per second.
The Hamza is 200-400 km wide, flows at 1 mm per second, and is 4 km down.
so brazil is separated to 2 lol
Floating bridges would do!
Hamza is an Arabic name. to whom is it associated?
Rio Negro Bridge ๐
How no one has solved this is crazy
KEE-low-meeturs, not kee-LOHM-miturs. I know, I know, it is artificial stupidity…
