If you tilt your head to the right the Amazon one looks like a lightning strike with various branches. Probably could be said of all of them but I think that one is the best example.
The glaciers and ice flow down to the ocean, here you can see the velocity of the ice there are a couple red streaks that could be called streams but they aren’t the long narrow fast moving streams we’d call a river.
I read somewhere that the Amazon River used to run from east to west until about 6 million years ago when the Andes Mountains developed, reversing the course
It depends on how you define a river. This map displays Rio de la Plata as a river, but that’s debateable, officially it’s an estuary. If you separate Parana and Uruguay rivers, than the Ob river basin in Asia is bigger than any of those.
