What Is the Flying River Phenomenon in the Amazon?
š” The Answer
- The Amazon generates huge amounts of water vapor by evapotranspiration.
- This moisture forms 'flying rivers' that travel across South America.
- These atmospheric rivers bring rain to the Andes and as far as central Brazil.
- Deforestation disrupts this cycle, reducing rainfall over wide areas.
