People always think about a  river as calm flowing water that brushes more than stones at the bottom  of the river but not all the rivers are calm, and there are some  dangerous rivers in the globe as well. Let's have a look at 5 of the world's most dangerous rivers. Amazon River: The first to top  the list is the Amazon River. The Amazon River located in South America  is the largest and most dangerous river in the world because of its  length, width and sheer volume. It accounts for about 20% of the world’s  river flow into the oceans. Because of its vast dimensions, it is  sometimes called the River Sea. It is so big that there aren't any two  points which can be crossed by a bridge. It is more than 150 feet deep.  During a flood season, the Amazon widens to cover its banks and the  islands in the middle of the river. The Amazon River is known for high  tidal waves as well. <img src="http://img.xcitefun.net/users/2010/03/155455,xcitefun-dangerous-river-amazon.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Congo River: earlier recognized  as the Zaire River, is in Western Central Africa. It is Africa's most  powerful river and the second most voluminous river in the world. It is  about 2992 miles long. The river is one among the dangerous ones because  still it begins peacefully; it picks up speed and becomes turbulent  until it enters the Gates of Hell, a 75 mile long canyon of treacherous  rapids. There are about 32 cataracts, having as much power as all the  rivers and falls in the United States. At the Upper Congo, the river  ends with the Stanley waterfall, a 60 mile draw out of rapids. <img src="http://img.xcitefun.net/users/2010/03/155453,xcitefun-dangerous-river-congo.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Orinoco River: is the third  longest river in South America and is about 1330 miles long and flows  through Columbia and Venezuela. Huge tropical forests cover the  southwestern parts and large portions are still virtually inaccessible.  Over 200 rivers are tributaries to this mighty river. It begins at the  Delgado Chalbaud Mountain and as the river passes the forested terrain  and waterfalls it slows. Navigation on this part is through shallow  dugout or canoe. Farther on, the waterfalls become rapids and are very  difficult to navigate. It drains into the Atlantic Ocean. It often posts  a threat to the people who live close to the river due to its coastal  upwelling throughout the year. <img src="http://img.xcitefun.net/users/2010/03/155452,xcitefun-dangerous-river-orinoco.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Yangtze River: is the largest  and longest river in Asia as well as China. It is about 3964 miles long  and it finally empties into the East China Sea. With plenty of rainfall  all year round, it is also called the Golden Watercourse. The river has  gorges along its way which are known for its dangerous with fast-moving  water also numerous shoals. At several points there are deceitful  whirlpools and the waters are extraordinarily turbulent. The river is  also known for its flooding and dams which have been constructed have  proved to be of no use. The tides of the Yangtze River are much stronger  and hence the flooding. It has always been a powerful source of  electricity. <img src="http://img.xcitefun.net/users/2010/03/155451,xcitefun-dangerous-river-yangtze.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Brahmaputra River: has its  origin in the South Western Tibet and flows through Tibet, China, India  and Bangladesh. It is about 1800 miles long. It is known for its  flooding when the snow in the Himalayas melt and also for its tidal  bare. This makes it more dangerous and stronger. <img src="http://img.xcitefun.net/users/2010/03/155454,xcitefun-dangerous-river-brahmaputra.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
