An example of a river is the Missisipi River which is located in Missisippi,Arkansas,Louisiania,Tennessee,Missouri,Illinois,Iowa, Wisconsin,Minnesota, and Kentucky. The River is 2,320 miles long,and it is 20 to 30 feet wide at the narrowest spot and 11 miles at the widest point. Something cool about the Missisipi River is that it outlines the man on our map!
Another example of a river would be the Missouri River this River is located in Idaho,Montana,North Dakota,South Dakota,Nebraska,Iowa,and Missouri. The River is 2,540 miles long and its nickname is Big Muddy!
The Rio Grande is located in Texas,New Mexico,and Colorado. This River has a length of 1,895 miles and an area of 336,000 square miles. A cool fact about the Rio Grande is that the name is Spanish for "Big River", but the Rio Grande is actually known as Rio Bravo in Mexico. "Bravo" translates as furious so the name makes sense.
