The correct descriptions about the Amazon River are:
- It moves freshwater more than 100 miles into the ocean.
- It carries more fresh water than any river in the world.

The Amazon River is often considered the second longest river in the world, with the Nile River typically recognized as the longest, depending on the measurements used. Additionally, the Amazon River actually starts in the Andes mountains in Peru and flows eastward across northern Brazil to the Atlantic Ocean.
