What are some common characteristics of the Mississippi River the Amazon River and the Nile?
All are large rivers. A number of people have lived along their waterways throughout history because of the many benefits to man that come from living near a river. They have been used to support transportation for a long time. Large areas of fertile land surround the rivers, whether it be cultivated land or tropical rainforest, and these areas are rich in the production of many things which man can eat. And the water can be drunk (if treated).
