What is the terrain of Brazil?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The variety of climates together with soil and drainage conditions are reflected in Brazil's vegetation. In the Amazon Basin and in those places along the Atlantic coast where the rainfall is very heavy, there is tropical rain forest composed of broadleaf evergreen trees growing luxuriantly. The rain forest is made up of a great many different species, as many as 3,000 in a sq. mile (2.6 sq. km). In the lowlands and plateaus of the eastern coast where rainfall is slightly less and the dry season is really dry, there is semi-deciduous forest, where the trees are smaller than in the rain forest and lose their leaves in the dry season. In the semi-arid northeast, the caatinga, a dry bush, predominates. The greater portion of the central part of Brazil is covered with a woodland savanna known as the cerrado. This is a special type of land combining sparse scrub trees and dryness resistant grasses. In the south, needle-leafed pine woods (Paraná-pine or Araucária) cover the highlands; grassland covers the sea-level plains. The Mato Grosso swamplands (Pantanal Mato-grossense), a plain which covers 88,803 sq. miles (230,000 sq. km) in the western portion of the center of the country, is covered in tall grasses, weeds, and widely dispersed trees. Large patches of it are submerged during the rainy season. The Amazon Basin and the Pantanal Mato-Grossense, already much altered by man's actions, constitute two of the world's largest biological reserves.

What South American city is located near the intersection of 20 degrees south and 40 degrees west on a latitude and longitude map?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Those exact co-ordinates actually place you in the water, but the closest town to that point is Nova Almeida, and the nearest large city is Vitoria. Both of these are located on the east coast of Brazil in the state of Espirito Santo.

The location you probably want is "Vitoria". There is an accent above the "o" in that word, but I have not added it because I don't know if it would be encoded properly in the web page.

Asked by Wiki User

Brazil

Equatorial Brazil does not observe DST. Start: Third Sunday in October

End: Third Sunday in February "summer schedule", will start on October 19, 2008. At the first minute of October 19, 2008, Brazil clocks will be adjusted forward one hour in the South, Southeast and Central West regions. The time difference between the US and Brazil is smallest during the US summer, when the US is in Daylight Saving Time and Brazil is not. As of this writing on October 8, it's 7:30p in New York City and 8:30p in Rio de Janeiro. When US clocks "fall back" in the northern hemisphere fall, the time difference between New York City and Rio de Janeiro will be three hours. Today Folha Online reported that Brazil President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has established the third Sunday in October and the third Sunday in February as the starting and closing days for Brazil Daylight Saving Time. In years when the closing Sunday happens to be Carnival Sunday, clocks will only be adusted back on the following Sunday. Brazil Daylight Saving Time 2008/2009 will end on February 15, 2009. The time when clocks are changed is always what is called 0 hora in Brazil, that is, 12 o'clock of the night when that day starts. Brazil

Climatic zone of Indonesia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Indonesia has a tropical climate. However, compared to the summer of Europe and North America, Indonesia in temperature is less warmer. But it feels warmer because it's humid, and that makes you sweat a lot.

Basically, this explains that Indonesia has a wet - tropical climate.

What you won't need when you go to Indonesia:

1) If you are wanting and liking tan, then you won't need long sleeved shirts/jackets/or of those kinds (Warm Clothes). But some Indonesians hate tan, and they'd wear thin long sleeved shirts to prevent themselves from getting a darker skin.

2) Blankets, etc.

What you need when you go to Indonesia:

1) Water - You're going to dehydrate if you don't drink water. I drank 2 litres of water daily, and it's a must, because you're sweating all the time. You can buy this everywhere and anywhere, anyhow, but it's okay to have your own bottle water.

2) Sun Block, or any of these stuff, that is is you're sunbathing or going to the beach..

3) I don't know what are they called, but they're in a kind of plastic bottle that have liquid in them that if you spread them on your skin, it will prevent you form getting bitten by flies. This is good (esp. when you go to the forests, or outdoor even), even the local Indonesians wear this when needed.

Hope this helps..
