How Good Is Your Geographic? [5]

Well, the Red River does get quite large sometimes. http://stundenbower.files.wordpress....floodmap51.jpg

Thanks for clarifying. Is the answer the Niagra River?

The St. Lawrence river flows generally west to east.

I believe this is a bit of a trick question as, by volume, I would guess it’s the Mackenzie River flowing from Great Slave Lake into the Beaufort Sea, contained entirely, I believe, in the Northwest Territories of Canada.

Best so far... I was thinking of the complete complex...Makenzie/Slabe/Peace.

Want to go for Bonus Points?

Typo. You mean Slave.

So, you are refering to the complete system with interconnected rivers, including the Great Slave Lake.

As for bonus points, I believe the provinces and territory have already been mentioned.

I wish you would make up your mind what you do mean!

When I asked whether you meant greatest length or if you meant greatest flow you emphatically said you did not mean the length, i.e. you implied you meant flow volume. You did not say that you meant the catchment area, which it appears is what you were looking for judging by this response.

Oh I know what I meant and Schemke got the MAIN answer good enough.
You want to ask a question about greatest flow, go ahead. Schmenke seems to have disappeared.

By length, it might be the Red River that flows along the North Dakota – Minnesota border (not sure of its source), through Manitoba and empties into Lake Winnipeg.

More North-North East but not really west-east.

You may know - but I didn't. Hence I asked for clarification. (Admittedly I didn't think of catchment area, only of length and flow).

Ok, I suspect this one will be answered fairly quickly...

If you were to sail due north from Tahiti what would be the first land mass you would encounter?

Asia?
