8. Nile River
Answer: Africa
The Nile River is the longest river in the world, and played a crucial role in the development of Ancient Egypt. The Nile overflows its banks every year, making the land around it extremely fertile.
9. Amazon River
Answer: South America

10. Murray River
Answer: Australia
The Murray River is the longest river in Australia. As the population of Australia has grown, the health of the Murray River has declined. Many native and unique species of fish and animals are now extinct or endangered. One of these fish species, the carp, has actually contributed to the problem by destroying aquatic plants.
