Question

There are no west-flowing rivers in Brazil give reason

Answer 1

Brazil is a South American country that is present on the eastern part of the continent and has the Atlantic ocean bordering on the eastern side.

There are 7 major rivers and 5 coastal minor river basins in Brazil and they all flow mostly towards the eastern side. They start from the Andes mountains present on the west of South America and flow towards the east and join the Atlantic ocean.

So, all the rivers in Brazil flow from the west (from the Andes) only towards the east into the Atlantic ocean.

Answer 2

Here is the answer

1. Most of the Rivers of Brazil originate from Brazilian Highlands.

2. Altitude of Brazilian Highlands decreases gradually from South to North and from West to east , as most of the Rivers in Brazil flow towards northern and Eastern direction.

3. Rivers flowing towards northern direction meets the south Atlantic ocean.

4. Thus, There are no west flowing Rivers in Brazil.

Hope you are satisfied with the answer.
