how many square miles does the amazon rainforest cover

An Amazon rainforest map illustrates the immenseness of the Amazon rainforest which extends 2.5 square miles (5.5 1000000 square kilometers) across South America. Today, the Amazon represents over half (astir 54%) of the planet's unexpended tropical rain forest regions and protects the largest reserves of natural resource in the world.
In South America, the Amazon covers parts of Brazil, Republic of Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia and the Guianas: Guyana, European nation Guiana and Suriname.

The principal engine that powers and gives life to the rainforest is the Amazon River, which rises in the Andes of Peru and flows along Sir Thomas More than 4,000 miles (6,440 kilometers) before emptying into the vicinity of Belem, Brazil.
