eurasia, are you even trying?
Mountains not conveniently arranged along the edges of the continent 😤. Who designed this shit?
Plate tectonics. Blame PT.
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.

It’s wild how close the Amazon river basin comes to the west coast of the continent without draining into the ocean on that side.
The Andes blocking all the good stuff from going into Peru, Bolivia and Chile
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
Well, there’s a little bunch of hills over there blocking it.
The Nile basin extends much further south of Lakes Victoria and Tanganyika than I would have imagined.
Sorry, I’m not familiar, what is the measurement M km2?
Million kilometers squared
1Mkm² ≈ 33 Belgiums ≈ 247M football pitches ≈ 1549806949806949 sq. in
How many bananas is that?
At least seven.
Does Antarctica have any ‘rivers’? Or does all the snow just stay there
Username checks out
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.
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.
Rhine river basin looks a lot bigger than I remember.
Why use Mercator?
