Card 1Brazil climate factors

Why does Brazil show a wide range of climates?

Answer

Brazil has a wide range of climatic variations because of its vast latitudinal extent. Near the equator it is hot, while near the Tropic of Capricorn it has a temperate type of climate.

Card 2Brazil rainfall

Which winds bring rainfall to Brazil?

Answer

Brazil gets rainfall from the South-East Trade Winds and the North-East Trade Winds. These winds bring moisture and help produce rain in different parts of the country.

Card 3Brazil relief and rainfall

What causes orographic rainfall on the Brazilian coast?

Answer

The escarpments of the Brazilian Highlands act as an obstruction to winds blowing from the sea. This forces the air to rise and causes orographic rainfall in the coastal region.

Card 4Brazil rain shadow

What is the Drought Quadrilateral?

Answer

The Drought Quadrilateral is the rain-shadow region in Brazil beyond the Brazilian Highlands. Rainfall is minimal there because the effect of the trade winds becomes weak after crossing the highlands.

Average temperatures are lower in the southern part of Brazil. The climate also becomes cooler in the Highlands, while the northern part is hotter.

The Amazon Valley has an average temperature of 25°C to 28°C. It is a hot region near the equator.

Answer

The Amazon Valley receives around 2000 mm of rainfall. The north-eastern coast receives about 1000 to 1200 mm of rainfall.
