the coastal of Brazil
Answers
Answer:
considerable number of geographical features can be found all through the coastal areas, like islands, reefs and bays. The beaches of Brazil (2095 in total[2]) are famous in the world and receive a great number of tourists.[3][4]
A famous expression in Brazil is "from Oiapoque to Chuí",[4] which means from the extreme south to the extreme north of the country. However, the actual northernmost point in Brazil is the Monte Caburaí in the far from the coast state of Roraima, whereas the southernmost point is in Santa Vitória do Palmar, the city from which Chuí emancipated.
Out of the 26 Brazilian states, 9 are landlocked, as well as the Distrito Federal. Most of the 17 coastal states have their capitals lying near the coast, exceptions being Porto Alegre (Rio Grande do Sul), Curitiba (Paraná), São Paulo (São Paulo), Teresina (Piauí), Belém (Pará) and Macapá (Amapá). Porto Alegre, Belém, Teresina and Macapá lie all near large navigable rivers, though.
Answer:
Brazil has a coastline of about 7400 km. It can be divided into two parts namely the northern and eastern coast.
- The northern coast extends from Amapa province in the north to Rio Grande do Norte in the east. This can be called as the North Atlantic coast .
- From there, the eastern coast extends towards the south. The north coast is characterized by mouths of many rivers including the Amazon. Therefore this region is a low - lying region.
- On this coast lie the Marajo island, Marajo and Sao Marcos Bays. Marajo is a large coastal island located between the mouths of River Amazon and River Tocantins.
- The eastern coast receives large number of smaller rivers . The only major river which meets the Atlantic Ocean here is Sao Francisco.
- The Brazilian coast is characterized by a large number of Beaches and sand dune complexes. The Brazilian coast is protected in some areas by coral reefs and still islands.
