Solution
Because of the vast latitudinal extent of Brazil, it experiences a wide range of climatic variations in climate.
- Near the equator, it is hot while the temperate type of climate is found near Tropic of Capricorn.
- Brazil gets rainfall from the South-East Trade winds and the North-east Trade Winds.
- Parts of the Brazilian highlands extend up to the northern coast. The escarpments act as an obstruction to the winds blowing from the sea and cause an orographic type of rainfall in the coastal region. Beyond the highlands, the effect of these winds gets reduced. As a result, precipitation is minimal.
All these are the factors which affect the climate of Brazil.
