Solution

The largest river system of North America includes

  • River Mackenzie, which drains into the Arctic Ocean.
  • The St. Lawrence River and the Hudson River, which connect the Great Lakes and drain into the North Atlantic Ocean.
  • The Yukon and Columbia rivers, which flow into the Pacific Ocean.
  • The Mississippi and Missouri rivers, which drain into the Gulf of Mexico.

Thus, the Mississippi-Missouri river system forms the largest and most important river system of North America, covering a vast drainage basin and playing a major role in the continent’s economy and transportation.
