Answer:

The given statement is False

Step-by-step explanation:

Amazon is the largest river and a great drainage system in South America. Two thirds of the river is located in Brazil.

It possesses the great and opulent bio diversity and the waters inhabit more than two thousand kinds of marine creatures. It has been a great foundation of protein abundance for the local populace and also a basis of fresh water. Due to soil erosion the nutrients in the river gets exhausted but the decomposed animals and plants serve to be the compost for the growth of new plant and animal species.

This is called nutrient recycling. Piranha, Giant River Otter, blue dolphins and electric eel are some of the species found in the river. It originates in Peru. It drains through nine American countries.
