[10] These points make it difficult, if not impossible, to get an accurate measurement of the length of a river.

For context, the volume of an Olympic-size swimming pool is 2,500 m 3 (88,000 cu ft). The average flow rate at the mouth of the Amazon is sufficient to fill more than 83 such pools each second. The average flow rate at the mouth of the Amazon is sufficient to fill more than 83 such pools each second.
Below is a list of European countries and dependencies by area in Europe. [1] As a continent, Europe's total geographical area is about 10 million square kilometres. [2] Transcontinental countries are ranked according to the size of their European part only, excluding Greece due to the not clearly defined boundaries of its islands between ...
