Congo

The Congo River is the world's deepest river, reaching nearly 750 feet to the bottom in certain places, and it is also 2,920 miles long. Because the Congo River is shared by nine nations, territorial conflicts are common. Historically, it was utilized for slave trading, but in recent times, the river's main economic activities include fishing, hunting, and farming. Its climate is generally rainforest, with lush trees that are home to wildlife, abundant rains, and hot and humid weather due to its location on the equator. Changes in the biological balance found over most of the African continent have a substantial influence on the Congo River.

The Congo Rainforest, the world's second-biggest rainforest region after the Amazon Rainforest in South America, is traversed by the river and its tributaries. The river also boasts the world's second-largest flow, trailing only the Amazon; the world's second-largest drainage basin, trailing only the Amazon; and is one of the world's deepest rivers, with depths exceeding 220 meters (720 ft). Because its drainage basin encompasses places both north and south of the equator, the river's flow is steady, as at least one section of the river is always having a rainy season.
