Answer 2

Answer:

This realm includes the entire continent of South America, which is smaller in physical area than North America. The South American continent is located farther east than North America and is smaller in physical area. The Atlantic Ocean borders the continent to the east and the Pacific Ocean borders the continent on the west. The narrow Isthmus of Panama creates a natural break between the South American continent and its neighbors to the north. The Caribbean Sea creates the northern boundary.

The equator cuts through the northern part of the continent directly through the mouth of the mighty Amazon River. The equatorial region is dominated by the tropical climates of the immense Amazon Basin. The Tropic of Capricorn runs directly through the latitude of São Paulo, Brazil, and Chile’s Atacama Desert, which reveals that most of the continent is in the zone of the tropics to the north.
