What are 10 physical features of Brazil?

Answer 1

Rainforests, rivers and waterfalls are some of Brazil's major physical features. Three of the most famous examples of these features are the Amazon Rainforest, the Amazon River, and Iguaçu Falls.

1. Sixty [60] percent of the Amazon Rainforest [Floresta Amazonia] is within Brazil's

borders. The Amazon Rainforest is the largest and most biologically diverse rainforest in the world.

2. Most of the Amazon River [Rio Amazonas] is in Brazil. The Amazon River has the largest drainage basin in the world. Generally it's considered the second longest river in the world, after the Nile. But Brazilian scientists dispute this. They state that the Amazon is 65 miles [105 kilometers] longer than the Nile.

3. Brazil shares Iguaçu Falls [Cataratas do Iguaçu] with Argentina. It's one of the world's largest waterfalls. There are 275 falls along 1.67 miles [2.7 kilometers] of the Iguaçu River. The height of the longest drop is 269 feet [82 meters]. That's at the Devil's Throat [Garganta do Diablo], which marks the border between Argentina and Brazil. Many rare and endangered species, such as the giant anteater and the giant otter, are found there. It has been a Natural World Heritage Site since 1986.

Answer 2

In order to provide a complete description of Brazil's Geography, I have taken the writing below from Wikipedia. I could have made a transcript using my own words, but a copy like this one is rare. I like to give answers by myself, but it would take too much time to me for I have many other questions to answer.

Brazil occupies a large area along the eastern coast of South America and includes much of the continent's interior, sharing land borders with Uruguay to the south; Argentina and Paraguay to the southwest; Bolivia and Peru to the west; Colombia to the northwest; and Venezuela, Suriname, Guyana and the French overseas department of French Guiana to the north. It shares a border with every country in South America except for Ecuador and Chile. It also encompasses a number of oceanic archipelagos, such as Fernando de Noronha, Rocas Atoll, Saint Peter and Paul Rocks, and Trindade and Martim Vaz. Its size, relief, climate, and Natural Resources make Brazil geographically diverse. Including its Atlantic islands, Brazil lies between latitudes 6°N and 34°S, and longitudes 28° and 74°W.

Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world, and third largest in the Americas, with a total area of 8,514,876.599 km2 (3,287,612 sq mi),including 55,455 km2 (21,411 sq mi) of water. It spans three time zones; from UTC-4 in the western states, to UTC-3 in the eastern states (and the official time of Brazil) and UTC-2 in the Atlantic islands. Brazil is the only country in the world that lies on the equator while having contiguous territory outside the tropics.

Brazilian topography is also diverse and includes hills, mountains, plains, highlands, and scrublands. Much of the terrain lies between 200 metres (660 ft) and 800 metres (2,600 ft) in elevation. The main upland area occupies most of the southern half of the country. The northwestern parts of the plateau consist of broad, rolling terrain broken by low, rounded hills.

The southeastern section is more rugged, with a complex mass of ridges and mountain ranges reaching elevations of up to 1,200 metres (3,900 ft). These ranges include the Mantiqueira and Espinhaço mountains and the Serra do Mar. In the north, the Guiana Highlands form a major drainage divide, separating rivers that flow south into the Amazon Basin from rivers that empty into the Orinoco River system, in Venezuela, to the north. The highest point in Brazil is the Pico da Neblina at 2,994 metres (9,823 ft), and the lowest is the Atlantic Ocean.

Brazil has a dense and complex system of rivers, one of the world's most extensive, with eight major drainage basins, all of which drain into the Atlantic. Major rivers include the Amazon (the world's second-longest river and the largest in terms of volume of water), the Paraná and its major tributary the Iguaçu (which includes the Iguazu Falls), the Negro, São Francisco, Xingu, Madeira and Tapajós rivers.
