Answer:

The North Carolina river basins are significantly smaller in any aspect when compared to the Amazon river basin.

Explanation:

North Carolina has seventeen river basins, all of which are of relatively small size. Five of those river basins drain in the Gulf of Mexico and the other twelve drain in the Atlantic Ocean. In any of the seventeen river basins, there isn't a single river that can be considered as large, but they are of medium and small size.

The Amazon river basin, on the other hand, is incomparably larger. It is the river basin that contains the highest amount of water by far. The central river of this basin, the Amazon River, is the river that has the biggest volume of water on Earth, and all rivers combined from North Carolina don't come anywhere near in site to even be compared to it. It is not just the Amazon though, but rivers like Jurua, Purus, Madeira, Tapajos, Xingu, individually have more water than all of North Carolina's river basins.
