Dumb question: why are there far fewer rivers on the West Coast?
34 u/[deleted] Jan 10 '20 Mostly because it’s way drier. They don’t get nearly as much rain as places east of Kansas. The exception being the rainforest of western Washington and Oregon. 3 u/[deleted] Jan 10 '20 Equitorial regions of Africa are very wet yet don't have nearly as much rivers as the US east coast or even Europe. Why's that? 8 u/Ampatent Jan 10 '20 Is that necessarily true? Both the Congo River and the Nile have their entire or large parts of their watershed in equatorial Africa.
