The Canyon, incised by the Colorado River, is immense, averaging 4,000 feet deep for its entire 277 miles. It is 6,000 feet deep at its deepest point and 15 miles at its widest. However, the significance of Grand Canyon is not limited to its geology.

From those choices the finest particles would have to be found near the mouth. This is because along the course of a river the speed of the river varies and at the mouth is generally the slowest point. As it enters the ocean it is likely to be flowing at its slowest speed, so its ability to carry particles is at its lowest energy level and only the very smallest particles will stay suspended. \n\nHowever, the question is not really correct with that wording and with this answer. There is no reason that the very smallest particle carried by a river cannot be found at ANY of those points along the river, and transported all the way to the mouth of the river. This also ignores the fact that rivers carry dissolved solids as well.

Pune straddles the Mutha River.  Given the torrential monsoon rains in India, I think that is what you might be looking at.

The Kızıl River (Turkish: Kızılırmak, "Red River"; ancient Greek and many English references: Άλυς Halys River) is the longest river in Turkey. It is not used for navigation, but a source of hydroelectric power.\n\nThe Kızıl flows for a total of about 1,150 kilometers, rising in the eastern Anatolian highlands around 39.8° N 38.3° E, flowing first to the west and south-west until 38.7° N 34.8° E, then forming a wide arch, flowing first to the west, then to the north-west, passing to the north-east of Lake Tuz, then to the north and northeast where it is joined by its major tributary, the Delice River (also known by its Greek name Cappadox) at 40.47° N 34.14° E, and after zig-zagging to the north-west to the confluence with the Devrez River at 41.10° N 34.42° E, and back to the north-east finally empties into the Black Sea at 41.72° N 35.95° E.

a nile?  or the Nile?  no, i can't show you.  Yahoo! Answers doesn't have a "draw" feature.  But why don't you go check out a map of Egypt.

Easy - The Nile.  \n\nOne of the most important waterways in the world in the middle of the north african desert wastelands.  where would you rather try to make a living?

Lake Volta\nIn Ghana, Lake Volta, the largest man-made lake in the world, extends from the Akosombo Dam in southeastern Ghana to the town of Yapei, 520 km (325 miles) to the north. The lake generates electricity, provides inland transport, and is a potentially valuable resource for irrigation and fish farming.

The longest rivers on each continent are as follows:\n\nNile (Africa): 6690 km\nAmazon (South America): 6387 km\nYangtze (Asia): 6380 km\nMississippi (North America): 6270 km\nMurray - Darling (Australia): 3750 km\nVolga (Europe): 3645 km\n\nHope this helps.\n\nNote for the future: try Wikipedia before Yahoo Answers.  It's usually quicker and far more reliable.

You have a reasonable argument that current shrinkage may not be that different from the past: \nThis from USGS web site:\nFluctuations are not new to Lake Chad. About 10,000 years ago Lake Chad almost filled its present drainage basin, and spilled southwest out the Benue River to the Atlantic. In the last 1,000 years, according to fossil evidence, the lake probably dried out a half-dozen times. (Most of its fish are river-adapted species.) Geologic data, climate data, historical accounts and reconstructions all indicate a higher long-term variability than the relatively short period we have actually measured. The chart shown here shows levels since the 1870s, from actual measurements and from estimates based on Nile River discharge.6\n\nFollowing highs in the 1870s and 1890s, the lake dropped enough by 1908 to separate into north and south pools, with the "Great Barrier" between. In the 1950s the lake rose enough to flood out irrigation systems, peaking this century in 1962. The lake then tapered off until the early 1970s, when it plummeted. The recent low levels are a concern, and have been monitored through satellite and other means by the Lake Chad Basin Commission and others.==url below\n\nWhether or not it has dried out in the past, people have come to rely on it. Worrisome, I'm sure, to government agencies concerned with food supplies, irrigation, biodiversity, water availability etc.  And I would suppose that any future increase in drought or temperature  warming would guarantee a smaller lake, or its disappearance again.

Correct\n\nwhy does the nile river flow south to north, the answer is very simple. The river just flows down hill, from the high mountains in the middle of africa to the Nile delta (point where Nile enters the Mediterranean Sea).

The first boat was probably a raft...\n\nAlthough it was before recorded history, there is evidence that some of the first Homo Sapiens to leave Africa, traveled from Ethiopia to Yemen, between 75-80,000 years ago. The distance is less than 10 miles, so they could see which direction to explore, and it was after an Ice Age, so the water levels were down appx. 150'...\n\nThe motivation for these Hunter/Gatherers was to find new food sources, and it was clear that wood floats, so they had the confidence they could make the journey safely, which they did...\n\nLater, perhaps 70,000 years ago, there is evidence that Australian Aborigines could have only arrived there my the making of rafts...
