The Amazon (Rio Amazonas), or the main northern part of Brazil's topographic content can be described in many forms. The Amazon occupies 7,049,000 sq km of Brazil, roughly 40% of South America's total area. The Amazon empties into the Atlantic Ocean at a average rate of 198,000 cu m per second. The Amazon lowlands east of Andes have the world's largest tropical rain forest. The northern part of the Amazon Basin lays a series of mountain ranges (Guiana Highlands for example.) The highlands (1,000 to 3,000 ft above sea level) meet the Atlantic Ocean in a steep slope. The Great Escarpment (Mountain Range) is in southeastern Brazil, and has elevations from 2,100 to 2,400 m above sea level.
