"Brazil (under construction)" Brazil by Larsson

Brazil is a very nice country.

Brazil is the 5th biggest country in the world and have an population of 174,790,810 Miljon people.

A vast region of highlands known as the Brazilian Highlands or Brazilian plateau, and the basin of the Amazon are the dominant physiographical features of Brazil. The plateau is an eroded tableland occupying most of the southeastern half of the country. With a general elevation of about 305 to 914 metres (1,000 to 3,000 feet), this tableland is irregularly ridged by mountain ranges and dissected by numerous river valleys. Its southeastern edge, generally parallel to the coast, rises abruptly from the ocean in various areas. Much of the tableland terrain consists of rolling prairies (campos), and extensive tracts are forested.

The basin of the Amazon occupies more than one-third of the surface of the country. Lowlands predominate in the Amazon Basin, and swamps and floodplains occupy vast areas of the region. Large parts of the basin are covered by tropical rainforests (selvas). Because of the denseness of this growth, huge areas of the Brazilian lowlands have only recently been explored. On the northern edge of the Amazon Basin lies another mountainous area, part of the uplift known as the Guiana Highlands.

The Brazilian coastline, with a total length of about 7,490 kilometres (4,650 miles), has unusually regular contours, particularly in the north, but several deep indentations provide excellent natural harbours. Except for sections in which the Brazilian Highlands project into the Atlantic Ocean, the coast is fringed by a narrow plain.
