This video is about the 10 deepest rivers in the world. I am not 100% right with this research, but I want to hear your opinion, whether you agree or disagree with me. The reason why I made this video, it's because I have studied a lot about the world's rivers and I enjoy learning about different rivers in each country. The world's 10 deepesr rivers are measured by the how deep they are by meter. I've always been intrested to know more about different rivers around the world.

  • the St Clair River In Sarnia Ontario Canada And Port Huron Michigan U.S.A Is About 40M At Its Deepest Point

  • @SebbyDTV Thanks for letting me know, it's always good to know more from others.

  • I've seen soundings of the Columbia(downstream of all reservoirs) that indicated areas near its mouth where it matched the Ganges-I believe-where the soundings indicated 20 meters(about 65 feet). It would be interesting to know where the Big "C" would have stood up against the others in terms of natural depth, but there just don't seem to be enough natural stretches to reach anything conclusive. Most rivers in the Columbia's size(discharge) range reach depths well in excess of 100'

  • @niflap Thanks for the info. It's usually complicated when it comes to the depths of rivers.

  • @niflap I don't know what you mean by the "big C", are you talking about the Chang Jiang? Or the Congo River? When these two rivers charge, they can even be deeper than 200m. The Congo River can reach over 200m when it charges towards the Atlantic Ocean, whereas the Chang Jiang can do the same when it charges to the China Sea.

  • Very informative :)

  • @Freelifewonder Thank you :-)

  • @bnbalenda Big C could mean the Columbia, nickname.

  • It's a pity that it's in all this Mickey Mouse metric measurements. I prefer it to be measured in feet. I can understand metric easily but in my day (lol) everything was measured in inches, feet, yards, and miles.

  • the st lawerence river is up to depth of 250 ft or 80 metres also an area on the kennebecasis river in nb canda is on charts at over 80 metres

  • Correction: In the last 30 days the USGS has measured a gage height of the Green River at Paradise, KY at nearly 40,000 feet or 12 kilometers. The gage can give erratic readings due to irregularities in surface of the fissure in the Earth's crust, at this point in the river. h t t p : / / river-depth. c o m /graphs/03316500?period=30 It is my theory that the Mississippi River didn't flow backward, just to fill the very shallow Reelfoot Lake, during the Earthquakes of 1811-1812.

  • @future4zinc The Green river is 384 miles long. If you are looking at the gage height at Munfordville, it's about 6'-15' or ~2m-5m. At Mammoth Cave (that one's broken) some sources say, about 10' or 3m. Within 50 miles of my home is the gage at Paradise, Ky. where the gage height is has been past 24,000' just over 7,315 meters. I've found no evidence of any river nearly that depth, in the world. h t t p : / / river-depth. c o m /states/KY

  • @future4zinc Because Munfordville is a popular spot to put in for canoeing and kayaking, many people assume the gage height there indicates the depth of the Green River.

  • @budbarker57 Really, 150m? I've gone canoeing on the Green river and I wouldn't say it's 150m deep more like 10m , unless your talking about some other part of it.
