Brazil === Brazil is a country in South America which is in the Southern hemisphere. It is most famous for the river Amazon, beaches and and Carnival in Rio. Brazil has many different physical features such as the river Amazon, the coastal low lands and the north east. These are all very different, the Amazon is a rainforest and has the river Amazon flowing through it , it has very few people living in it .The coastal lowlands is a very different area it is much more crowded and has many more job opportunities than the Amazon which is why the city is more crowded then the Amazon. ===

The Amazon Rainforest
== The Amazon rainforest is full of life. It takes up most of Brazil's space.The river Amazon is the world's second longest river after the river Nile but has the most amount of water, it contains one fifth of the world's water. It is the world's widest river and boats can go up 3200 from the mouth to the Atlantic ocean. It is 6280m long from its source in Peru and has over 1100 tributaries. The Amazon Rainforest has a very humid climate which means it has a lot of water in the air.The rainforest has a lot of rain which is why it is called the rainforest. In the Amazon rainforest there is a variety of different animals and insects. As it is a tropical rainforest you wouldn't get these animals or insects in England as it too cold.There is a city called Manaus. It was made when all the rubberworkers came for all the rubber trees, these workers were very rich and this is why Manaus is a very rich city. == == ﻿In the Amazon rainforest there are lots of excotit plants and animals exaples of these are the capybaras which are like guinea-pigs which can be tamed, there also are aligators not coridles and there are parrots in almost every coulor.The amazng plant life incoldes a huge viriat of lilies some of the examples of these are orchids which hang from the trees.Insects in the rainforest inclod the mosquito, the swallow tail butterifly and the horton tail butterifly. ==

== The amazing amerindians have disscovered most of the midicines we have today,they have found almost a use for every plant in the rainforest such as the use of urucu berries for body paint and the use of mashohara leaves for help you get to sleep.There nare lots of different tribes such as the obudua and the xanita these are pvery old tribes and have kept going by them marring their own sister or cousie. ==
