MashaAllah - Creation is Beautiful #6: The Amazon Rainforest

Asalaamu alaykum wa rahmahtullahi wa barakatuh brothers and sisters in Islam.

For my sixth entry about the beauty that Allah swt has created around us in this world, insha'Allah I will be posting all about the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil.
One of, if not THE most famous rainforest of the face of the Earth.

• The Amazon River is the second largest river in the world. Second to the Nile river - however it contains more water than the Nile, Mississippi and Yangtze combined.
• The Amazon River is the widest in the world. Some parts are about five miles wide, and this can swell to 15 miles wide when flooded.
• The Amazon River is home to over 2,000 different species of Fish.
• The Amazon Rainforest has been nicknamed 'The Lungs of the Earth' - due to the amount of carbon dioxide that is turned into breathable oxygen. In fact, it provides us with more than 20% of the world's oxygen.
• Over 3,000 varieties of fruit grow naturally in the rainforest, only 200 of these are used in the Western World.

Masha'Allah. Yet another place I'd love to visit before I pass.

Wasalaam.
