Arrange the sentences in correct sequence :
(1) Drought Quadrilateral in Brazil
(i) The northeast part of Brazil receives the minimum rainfall
(ii) The Great Escarpment acts as an obstruction to the winds coming
from the sea
(iii) Beyond the Great Escarpment, the effect of winds gets reduced
Answer. Geographical Reasons for Less Rainfall: Northeast Brazil receives less than 800 mm per year, due to the effects of the anticyclone prevailing in the south Atlantic. Some inland regions receive less than 400 mm/annum!
(II) The Escarpments act as an obstruction to the winds coming from the sea and cause orographic type of rainfall in the coastal region which receive 1000 – 1200 mm rainfall. (vi) Beyond the highlands, the effect of these winds gets reduced. ... This region is called 'Drought Quadrilateral'.
(III) Beyond the highlands the effect of these winds gets reduced leading to minimal rainfall.
