Its longest tributary is the Nyang River. Major tributaries of Yarlung Tsangpo include Nyangchu River, Lhasa River, Nyang River, and Parlung Tsangpo. In Tibet the river flows through the South Tibet Valley, which is approximately 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) long and 300 kilometres (190 mi) wide.
The Lhasa River is the longest of the Yarlung Tsangpo tributaries. [4] It flows through the south of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, and is a left tributary of the Yarlung Tsangpo. It is about 450 kilometres (280 mi) long. [5] The river forms where three smaller rivers converge.
In particular, there seems to exist disagreement as to whether the Nile [3] or the Amazon [4] is the world's longest river. The Nile has traditionally been considered longer, but in 2007 and 2008 some scientists claimed that the Amazon is longer [5] [6] [7] by measuring the river plus the adjacent Pará estuary and the longest connecting tidal ...
Its waters drop from about 2,900 metres (9,500 ft) near Pei to about 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) at the end of the Upper Gorge where the Po Tsangpo River enters. The river continues through the Lower Gorge to the Indian border at an elevation of 660 metres (2,170 ft). The river then enters Arunachal Pradesh and eventually becomes the Brahmaputra ...
The Nile in Africa is officially recognized as the world’s longest river, but now a new expedition is heading to South America with the aim of exploring a tributary of the Amazon which may lead ...
This is a list of streams and rivers in the U.S. state of Florida.With one exception, the streams and rivers of Florida all originate on the Coastal plain.That exception is the Apalachicola River, which is formed by the merger of the Chattahoochee River, which originates in the Appalachian Mountains, and the Flint River, which originates in the Piedmont.
The Brahmaputra River experiences two high-water seasons, one in early summer caused by snowmelt in the mountains, and one in late summer caused by runoff from monsoon rains. The river flow is strongly influenced by snow and ice melting of the glaciers, which are located mainly on the eastern Himalaya regions in the upstream parts of the basin.
By 1904, the river had overflown the north bank leaving the northern bridgehead on an island, thus rendering the bridge functionally ineffective. [6] The ferryman mostly came from a nearby village of Chun or Junba, which is the only fishing village in Tibet. [7] [8] [9] The ferry service continued as late as 1959. [7]
