520	3		_aThe mighty Amazon River starts high up in the Andes Mountains in Peru along the west coast of South America. The river then flows east for more than four thousand miles across South America and empties into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Brazil. The Amazon didn’t always flow east. It used to flow westward and emptied into the Pacific Ocean. However, the formation of the Andes Mountains, about fifteen million years ago, led to the river changing direction. The mountains blocked the flow of the Amazon. It became a sea—a huge inland body of water. Over a long period of time, this inland sea gradually changed to into a massive swampy lake. The environment of the area also changed during this time. For millions of years, much of the land around the Amazon River had been a mix of rain forests (wet forests) and savannas (dry grasslands). But when the river got blocked up, much of the savannas became rain forest. More rain fell in the area, which meant more plants, bushes, and trees grew there. The climate became hot and humid. About ten million years ago, the water in the freshwater lake slowly worked its way through the sandstone at the bottom. The water was able to start moving. The lake became a river again. Only this time it was flowing eastward.
