Brazil's Population Distribution.
Name and locate your case study.
The country of Brazil is in the continent of South America.
Describe the main features of Brazil's population distribution.
1. The most sparsely populatedregion is the Amazon Basin in North Brazil.
2. The most densely populatedregion is the Southeast (also called the Coastal Lowlands).
3. The main cities in the Southeastinclude Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
4. The NE of Brazil is sparsely populated inland but is densely populated at the coast. Main cities here include Recife and Fortaleza.
5. The population tends to be denser, even in dry areas like NE Brazil and densely vegetated areas like the Amazon, along rivers.
Explain the factors of the Amazon which make it sparselv populated.
1. It is remote (far from urbancentres which are important for services and employment).
2. It has limited accessibility due to dense vegetation and poor transport links.
3. Its climate has very high annual temperatures hot and high annual precipitation.
This climate means it is:
· Uncomfortable for human habitation
· Vulnerable to regular flooding.
· Unsuitable for the large-scale agriculture needed for dense populations as heavy rains lead to leaching of nutrients from the soil.
Explain why inland areas of the Northeast are sparsely populated.
1. This area, known as the Caatinga, is a rural area.
2. The climate has very high annual temperatures and low annualprecipitation. There are regular droughts.
3. It is difficult to grow crops (arable farming) or farm animals (pastoral farming), as the soil is thin, rocky and infertile. The only plants, which grows well here, are thorny caatingabushes.
4. There are few natural resources to provide raw materials for secondary industry.
5. There is little government support given to the region.
Explain why the population density increases at the coast in Northeast Brazil
1. In hot places like Northeast Brazilit is cooler at the coast.
2. As Brazil is still an LEDC, fishing is an important primary industry.
3. Ports create employment as there is importing and exporting business here.
4. Industries locate at ports to reduce transport costs (these are called break of bulk
sites).
5. There is flat low-lying relief along the coast suitable for large settlements.
6. Transport links follow the coast.
