How terrifying is the Congo River? The rapids are 45 kilometers per hour, setting off 7 meters of huge waves, and the fish cannot swim to the opposite shore

After discussing this issue with my friends, the results are as follows.

1. Second in the world? How is the Nile or amazon or mississippi and the Yangtze? The first Amazon, the second Congo River, the third Yangtze River.

2. This section, if it is possible to develop hydropower, is enough for several surrounding countries to use. Only South Africa has access to this electricity, but the cost of transmission is too high.

3. That kind of rapids do not need to build a dam to build a power station, the two sides of the river bank can be installed, and the water wheel can be extended into the river water... Although the single machine will not be very large, but the two sides of the strait are so long, how many generators can be installed...? OK. This scheme is also for personal use, build a crane, put a turbine in front of the water, and get a shaft connected to the generator on the shore.

4. The submerged valleys on the seafloor near the mouth of the Congo River are related to sea level decline during the last glacial period. The further continental slope canyon is the result of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of large lakes formed before the middle glacial period in the Congo Basin due to geological movement, which rushed through the peak of the ice crystal mountains into the sea.

5. If this river were in china, teach it to be a river in minutes, and change the rapids of Inga to Inga not flow. Infrastructure maniacs are not given in vain.

6. The Brahmaputra, Nu, what is the gap between these places? The drop is very large, but the amount of water is limited, after all, most of the water vapor is blocked by the Himalayas.

7. The furious and huge Congo River Is as deep as 100 meters The world's largest water energy reserves Are the second largest in the world, and in fact the second largest river in the world, but much more restless than the Amazon River Some people mention the Nile, the Nile is only long, and it is not related to the big, and even the tributaries of a tributary of the Amazon River are not comparable.

8. The canyon is not 100% washed out, the fresh water is lighter than the sea water, can it wash out such a long canyon at the bottom of the sea? There is only one possibility, because there is this river in this Grand Canyon that runs from sea to land. In China, this river has long been intercepted into 85 sections by reinforced concrete, turning into countless artificial lakes, and the end is to become a small ditch.

9. After the Congolese River enters the Atlantic Ocean, because of the huge amount of water, there is still a large amount of fresh water with huge impact on the seabed tens of kilometers outside the estuary.

10. The most terrifying thing about the Congo River is its depth of 200 meters. More than 200 meters, and it is possible that the underwater terrain is extremely complex, and there are even underwater caves.

11. Manda is the city! The Zaire River is what it once called in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo), and it cannot be said or called! The average flow of the estuary is 40,000 cubic meters per second, and the maximum flow rate is 80,000 cubic meters per second!

12. After watching the video of British secondary school teachers fishing for goby in the Congo River, the Congo River is indeed majestic, the waves are fierce, and the heart trembles when standing by the river. Many people in the headlines have posted videos of Congolese fishing on the Congo River, and the water flow is really as fierce as the floods of 1998.

13. The formation of the Congo River Gorge is not millions of years old, but tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years old. It is the best proof of the settlement of the continental crust, and it is very valuable for investigation!

14. The Congo River is indeed very large, on the other side is Brazzaville (French: Bukhaza City) the two capitals are on the other side of the river, unique to the world, the land of the Democratic Republic of the Congo can be said to be the most fertile in Africa, but unfortunately it is poor or poor.

15. So, now that you know why the Yangtze River is a "golden waterway", Shanghai's status cannot be shaken! The Yangtze River is the world's number one economic river!

16. The annual runoff is 3 times that of the Three Gorges, the drop is more than 3 times that of the Three Gorges, the hydraulic resources are 10 times that of the Three Gorges, the total installed capacity is more than 100 million kilowatts, and the annual power generation is 1 trillion kWh. The installed capacity reaches 2/3 of the Three Gorges, and the power generation can exceed the Three Gorges. Because of the high number of utilization hours of the unit, in most cases, it can generate power at full capacity, but the Three Gorges cannot do it. The change in the flow of China's rivers during the flood period and the dry period is too obvious.

17. If the Earth is a living organism, Antarctica is its brain, the Americas are its kidneys and backbones, Australia in Africa is its heart and lungs, Eurasia is its liver, spleen, and abdomen, and the Arctic Ocean is its anus. Like not.
