"Because South America's interior is largely composed of forbidding rain forests and inhospitable highlands, most of the population is relegated to the coasts, especially in the southwest of Brazil. This Distribution creates a 'hollow continent' effect" In short it's when people move to certain areas because of the topography and geography of the land.
