Yes, ask anyone about the Amazon and they would spout of on an endless stream of dreamy thoughts. <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The A<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">mazon river is the second longest river in the world. (The Nile is the longest but the Amazon﻿ has the most water in it!) Its mouth is over 300 km wide and it has over 1100 tributaries. It is know as the river sea because in places it is so wide that if someone was on one side they could not see the other side. <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">It flows through the Amazon Rainforest. The forest is full of diverse wildlife and is very sparcely populated. The largest city in that area is Manaus. In the forest live the Amerindians - the native populaton of brazil.

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Northeast: Caatinga <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">This area of Brazil is somewhat unheard of due to the rather over riding fame of the Amazon. It is semi-arid, like a half desert. The plants mainly consist of shrubs, cacti and other desert dwelling plants. It has very few trees. the animals are many colourful birds, spiders, snakes and scorpions. The people are mainly farmers and they work hard to get the best out of the land and their cattle as they can. <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Southwest: Brazillian Highlands <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">These take up about half of the land area of Brazil. It mainly consists of low mountains, hilly uplands and is on average height of 3,300 feet. They cover an area of about 580,000 square miles. The origanal ecosystems have been destroyed. they were mainly swamps and mountain forest. Now it is mainly grassland and open forests. The summers are wet and hot, and in winter it is warm and dry.
