There are seven commonly accepted wonders of the ancient world; however, there are many more wonders throughout the history of the entire world.  The total number isn't agreed upon by scholars (and probably never will be), but there are many who claim certain structures as wonders of their specific time periods, including the Great Wall, Taj Majal, Hagia Sophia, and Eiffel Tower.  Some also consider certain natural structures to be wonders as well, i.e. Ayers Rock, Grand Canyon, Victoria Falls, and Carlsbad Caverns.

ok.  well, this information is taken from this site:\nhttp://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/articles/geography/longestriverstable.htm\n\nas for the a), b), and c), this stuff makes me think this is a homework assignment.  so you should do your own homework by looking up these rivers on a map or global atlas and finding out for yourself.  if you just ask yahoo people to do all your homework you'll never learn anything and be flippin' burgers at mcdonalds when you're 40.  so seriously, do it yourself.\n\nanyway, they will almost always empty into a large body of water, like an ocean or sea, so that will tell you the direction they flow.\n\n1. \n Nile \n 4,160 miles \n North/East Africa \n \n2. \n Amazon \n 4,000 miles \n South America \n \n3. \n Chang Jiang (Yangtze) \n 3,964 miles \n China \n \n4. \n Huang He \n 3,395 miles \n China \n \n5. \n Ob-Irtysh \n 3,362 miles \n Russia \n \n6. \n Amur \n 2,744 miles \n Northeast Asia \n \n7. \n Lena \n 2,734 miles \n Russia \n \n8. \n Congo \n 2,718 miles \n Central Africa \n \n9. \n Mackenzie \n 2,635 miles \n Canada \n \n10. \n Mekong \n 2,600 miles \n Southeast Asia

Illinois River, Mississippi River, Ohio River and the Wabash River are the four biggest.  I'm searching for the 5th...I would imagine the 5th would be a tributary of one of the 4 aforementioned rivers.  I can't find a listing of rivers in order of size.  Here's a good link if you're familiar with the waterways in Illinois:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watersheds_of_Illinois
