DOWN, IS THE ANSWER. \nRIVERS FLOW FROM HIGHLANDS, WHEREVER THEY ARE, TO THE SEA, WHEREVER THAT IS.\n\nIF YOU ARE SAYING THAT THE RIVER COMPLETELY BISECTS AUSTRALIA, IT'S NOT A RIVER, BUT A TIDAL STRAIT.

Lengths of the major rivers\nTake a look at a map of the United States or of any country in the world. Notice how towns and cities tend to be located next to rivers? This is no coincidence. Rivers provide water for the essential needs of both tiny towns and huge cities. There's a good chance that you live near one of our nation's large rivers. Ever wonder what rivers are the longest? Look at the graphic below to see our short list of long rivers.\n\n(It's not so easy to define how long a river is. If a number of tributaries merge to form a larger river, how would you define where the river actually begins? Here, we define river length as the distance to the outflow point from the original headwaters where the name defines the complete length.

The source of the Amazon River is not in Brazil - it is Peru. While the river has over 1,000 tributaries, the main source lies in the Andes in Peru, less than 100 miles from the Pacific Ocean even though it empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The Amazon is formed by the junction of two major headstreams, the Ucayali and the shorter Marañón. You can read about the recent discovery of the source in the first link.

wat r trivers? and u can learn about rivers in history. i have a REALLY good social studies teacher who told me that geo and history and very closely related. we learned bout the st lawerence river in history class!\n\nand bout the yangtze river...\nThe Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia and third longest in the world. The headwaters of the Yangtze are situated at an elevation of about 16,000 feet in the Kunlun Mountains in the southwestern section of Qinghai. It flows generally south through Sichuan into Yuanan then northeast and east across central China through Sichuan, Hubei, Auhui, and Juangsu provinces to its mouth, 3,720 miles, in the East China Sea north of Shanghai. The river has over 700 tributaries but the principal tributaries are the Hun, Yalong, Jialing, Min, Tuo Jiang, and Wu Jiang. The climate ranges from 96 degrees in the summer to cold, brisk temperatures in the winter. Precipitation is high due to the height of the mountains.  \nChina covers an area of almost 3.7 million square miles and is the most populous country on earth having more than one billion people. The bordering countries include Mongolia, Kazakhstan, India, Nepal, Burma, Vietnam and Korea. The People's Republic is led by Chinese Communist Party and governed by the State Council. The main language spoken is the Mandarin dialect of Chinese but there are more than 150 languages and dialects spoken throughout the country. Approximately 350 million people inhabit the region of the Yangtze. There is plenty of wildlife along the river as well which include the Tibetan antelopes, Mongolian gazelles, and snow leopards, just to name a few.  \n\nWaters of the Yangtze are often used for rice and wheat irrigation. It also has enormous and inexhaustible hydroelectric resources. In 1995 construction began on the Three Gorges Dam near Yichang and is scheduled for completion in 2009. The dam will measure about 600 feet and about 1.5 miles wide. The dam is expected to help control the flooding of the Yangtze River Valley. The Three Gorges (the Qutang Gorge, the Wuxia Gorge, and Xiling Gorge) will also be the largest electricity generating facility in the world. The hydroelectric generators will provide 1/9 of China's total power output. \n\nThere is a lot of controversy surrounding the construction of the dams. There are 140 villages, 1,600 factories and over 80,000 acres of growable land that will be destroyed. It may also cause animals to become extinct. The area is very prone to earthquakes because it lies directly on a fault line. Actually, the plateau and gorges were created by collision of the Indian-Australian plate, drifting northward, with the Eurasian plate that began over 40 million years ago and continues today. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n      Snaking its way 6,300 kilometres from western China’s Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the East China Sea, the Yangtze River stretches nine provinces and serves as a drain for 695,000 square miles of land.  It is less in length only to the Amazon and Nile, and spans so many regions that it has acquired half a dozen names.  In the high Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Tibetans title it Dri Chu—Female Yak River.  The Chinese in the area know it as Tongtian He, Travelling-Through-the-Heavens River.  Where it borders Sichuan and runs through Yunnan, it is referred to as Jinsha Jiang, River of Golden Sand.  Often the word Wanli prefixes the common Chang Jiang (Long River), designating it Ten Thousand Li River. Only in the lower reaches does this great flood go by its name common to foreigners: Yangtze. \n\n        For over two centuries the Yangzte has served as a transportation highway and commercial thoroughfare.  Ocean-going vessels can navigate up the river for 1000 km and steamers can travel as far as Yichang, 1600 km from the sea.  A quarter of China’s ocean-going cargo enters the river between Shanghai and the sea.  Shanghai is known as the gateway to the Yangzte, spanning the Huangpu tributary just south of the
