The Amazon River is located in South America and is one of the longest rivers in the world. Is it compound or a simple sentence

compound sentence

Explanation:

It is important to remember that compound sentences are sentences that join two or more independent clauses by a comma, semicolon, or conjunction (eg and).

So we take note of the underlined word showing the conjunction joining the other clause in the sentence;

"The Amazon River is located in South America and is one of the longest rivers in the world."
