Two main reasons:
1) Strategic reasons: Rio de Janeiro is on the coastline and they wanted to move the capital inland in case of an invasion. It is much easier to defend a capital inland because you have more time to prepare versus a capital that is on the shore.
2) to Develop the heart of Brazil. Until the construction of Brasilia, there wasn't anything there. The central region of Brazil was totally undeveloped as the population lived mostly along the coastline. They figure that if they moved the capital inland, people would move there and develop that area. They were proved right.!

What kind of adaptations do Brazilian have?
Behavioral, cultural and psychological describe the kind of adaptations that Brazilians have. Brazilians handle diverse geography and meteorology, many customs, economics, languages and societies and variable environmental and socio-economic stresses. They manage to compete in area and international markets not of their own making, to mix multiple ethnicities into one nation and to sustain optimism and realism as the only Portuguese-speaking country in a continent dominated by Spanish and proximitous to English-speakers in Caribbean, Central and North America.
If you are English speaking it is harder than Spanish but I would argue far richer. It is the language that most closely resembles Latin of any spoken today. The grammar is complex and the vocabulary is large but the language follows strict rules for pronounciation and spelling so once you have mastered these reading aloud is easy. The differences between Portuguese spoken in Porgugal, Brazil and African countries is fascinating. Good luck!
