World Geographical Records

The Amazon River is widely recognized as the second-longest river in the world, with approximately 6,400 kilometers (3,976 miles) in length. The Nile River is the longest at around 6,650 kilometers (4,130 miles). The Ganga (Ganges) is not among the top three longest rivers. However, some recent measurements suggest the Amazon might actually be longer than the Nile, making this a debated topic in geography.

Angel Falls (Salto Ángel) in Venezuela is the highest uninterrupted waterfall in the world, with a height of 979 meters (3,212 feet) and a plunge of 807 meters. It is located in the Canaima National Park. Jog Falls is a major waterfall in India but not the highest. There is no major waterfall known as 'Amazon falls' - this appears to be a distractor.

Greenland is the world's largest island, covering approximately 2.16 million square kilometers. It is located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans and is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. Iceland is much smaller at about 103,000 square kilometers. Indonesia is a country comprising many islands, not a single island.

Krubera Cave (also known as Voronya Cave) in Georgia is the deepest known cave in the world, with a depth of 2,197 meters (7,208 feet). It is located in the Arabika Massif. 'Arab' appears to be a garbled reference to Arabika, and 'Shark cave' seems to be a distractor option with no factual basis.

Burj Khalifa in Dubai, completed in 2010, is the world's tallest building at 828 meters (2,717 feet). The CN Tower in Toronto is a communications tower, not primarily a building. KVLY-TV mast is a guyed mast, not a building.

The Carcross Desert in Yukon, Canada is considered the world's smallest desert at approximately 1 square mile. It's often called the 'smallest desert in the world' despite being more of a sand dune formation.

Three Gorges Dam in China is the world's largest dam by structural volume and installed capacity (22,500 MW). It spans the Yangtze River and is the largest power station in the world. Syncrude and New Cornelia are tailings (not conventional dams), and Pati is not among the largest.

The Nile River is traditionally recognized as the world's longest river at approximately 6,650 kilometers. While the Amazon River carries more water, the Nile holds the length record. The Yangtze and Mississippi-Missouri are among the world's longest but not the longest.

The Orange River is the longest river in South Africa, stretching approximately 2,209 km (1,373 miles). It originates in the Drakensberg mountains and flows westward to the Atlantic Ocean, forming part of the border between South Africa and Namibia. The river is named after the Dutch royal House of Orange-Nassau. The Yellow River is in China and is not related to South Africa.

The Yangtze River is China's largest, and the Yellow River (Huang He) is the second-longest. The Orange, Green, and Black Rivers are not major Chinese rivers - the Orange River is in South Africa.

Angel Falls (Salto Ángel) in Venezuela is the highest waterfall in the world at 979 meters (3,212 feet). Tugela Falls is the second highest. Yosemite and Mardalsfossen are impressive but not record holders. Angel Falls drops from Auyán-tepui mountain.

Hells Canyon on the Idaho-Oregon border (USA) is the deepest gorge in North America at 2,410 meters (7,993 feet) deep. The Grand Canyon is the largest by volume but not the deepest. Charyn Canyon is in Kazakhstan. Tspango appears to be a misspelling or non-standard reference.
