People in Brazil transport by
foot and even boats. Tahiti imports in
Brazil are machinery, electrical equipment,
Iron ore, steel, soybeans, foot wear, motor
vehicles, concentrated orange juice,
beef, and tropical hard wood, some major
imports are machinery, electrical and
transportation
equipment ,chemical products. Brazil exports
coffee, sugar, Brazilian nuts ,chemical products,
and electrical equipment.
With my group researching Brazil, I decided to study regions as my theme of geography. The
world is divided into manageable units for geographical study. Human and physical
characteristics, language, climate, population, and several other features describe regions.
Regions are defined by functual, formal, or vernacular regions. Brazil is the world's fifth largest
country, by both geographical area (lots of trees) and population. It is the only Portuguese
speaking country in the Americas. The capital is Brasilia, and the largest city is Sao Paulo. The
Brazilian economy is the world's eighth largest economy. While Brazil is one of the world's fastest
growing major economies, it is a founding member of the United Nations, the G20, CPLP, Latin
Union, the Organization of Ibero-American States, Mercosul and the Union of South American
Nations, and is one of the BRIC (known as the "Big Four" it is a grouping of Brazil, Russia, India,
and China). Brazil is home to large population of wildlife and natural resources. Luckily, a majority
of this population is in protected habitats. Brazilian currency is called reals, which are pronounced
as: Rios (Rs$). The most popular sport in Brazil is football (soccer). Next year’s World Cup will
be held in Brazil! The Brazilian culture reflects the country’s mix of native and immigrant
populations. Some of their regional foods include: vatapa, moqueca, polenta, and acaraje. The
national beverage is coffee and cachaca. The parents in Brazil name their children by describing a
peculiar characteristic of their ancestors. Brazil’s three most famous landforms are the Amazon
Rainforest, Amazon River, and the Iguacu Falls. Sixty percent of the Amazon Rainforest is in
Brazil's borders. It is the largest rainforest in the world. Most of the Amazon River is located in
Brazil. The Amazon River has the world's largest drainage basin. Usually, it's considered the
world's second longest river, after the Nile. But most Brazilian scientists disagree to this.
According to their investigations, the Amazon is 65 miles longer than the Nile. Brazil’s Iguacu Falls
is between Brazil and Argentina. It's one of the world's largest waterfalls. There are 275 falls along
1.67 miles of the Iguacu River. The height of the longest drop is 269 feet! Doesn’t Brazil sound
like a cool place to visit?!
Human Environment
Interaction
Human Environment Interaction is
when people travel on land and rivers to
places and get use to there surroundings.
Some places are easy to settle in and some
places are hard to settle in. Some Human
Environment Interaction examples are traveling
through forest and rivers, building a tree
house, cutting grass and growing many
different crops and plants. Rivers are used for
a wide range of things such as transportation,
recreation, trading and source of food.
The location we are doing is Brazil. The capital city
Brasilia’s absolute location is 15 degrees south, and
47 degrees west. The relative location is smack dab in
the middle of Brazil. It’s located in the south east
hemisphere in South America. Some of its
neighboring countries are Argentina and Bolivia.
Place
In Brazil the climate is 90% tropical areas. Also the
population of Brazil is 191,971,506. Some
landforms of Brazil are hills, mountains, plains,
highlands and scrublands. Brazil has the 2nd
longest river in the world and this river is called
the Amazon River.
