The mighty Mississippi River which is derived from the old Ojibwe word misi-ziibi meaning 'big river'.  River length is a difficult measurement to pin down because the river channel is constantly changing. For example, staff at Itasca State Park, the Mississippi's headwaters, say the Mississippi is 2,552 miles long. The US Geologic Survey has published a number of 2,300 miles (3,705 kilometers), the EPA says it is 2,320 miles long, and the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area maintains its length at 2,350 miles.

Mississippi is a Southern state of the United States. The state takes its name from the Mississippi River, which flows along the western boundary. The name itself comes from either the Ojibwe, a Native American language spoken around the river's headwaters, or some other closely related Algonquian language, meaning "great river." Other nicknames attached to Mississippi are the Magnolia State and the Hospitality State.

ok.  well, this information is taken from this site:\nhttp://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/articles/geography/longestriverstable.htm\n\nas for the a), b), and c), this stuff makes me think this is a homework assignment.  so you should do your own homework by looking up these rivers on a map or global atlas and finding out for yourself.  if you just ask yahoo people to do all your homework you'll never learn anything and be flippin' burgers at mcdonalds when you're 40.  so seriously, do it yourself.\n\nanyway, they will almost always empty into a large body of water, like an ocean or sea, so that will tell you the direction they flow.\n\n1. \n Nile \n 4,160 miles \n North/East Africa \n \n2. \n Amazon \n 4,000 miles \n South America \n \n3. \n Chang Jiang (Yangtze) \n 3,964 miles \n China \n \n4. \n Huang He \n 3,395 miles \n China \n \n5. \n Ob-Irtysh \n 3,362 miles \n Russia \n \n6. \n Amur \n 2,744 miles \n Northeast Asia \n \n7. \n Lena \n 2,734 miles \n Russia \n \n8. \n Congo \n 2,718 miles \n Central Africa \n \n9. \n Mackenzie \n 2,635 miles \n Canada \n \n10. \n Mekong \n 2,600 miles \n Southeast Asia
