1.	Observe the given map below and answer the following questions:1. In which part of Brazil are the average temperatures low?2. Identify the rain-shadow area in Brazil. Describe its climatic characteristics.3. In which region do you find a higher temperature?4. Considering the latitudinal extent of Brazil, where will you find a temperate climate in Brazil?5. Describe the winds blowing between 0° to 5° N and S zones.6. Which method has been used to show distribution in this map?
Answer» 1. Identify the rain-shadow area in Brazil. Describe its climatic characteristics. 2. The north-eastern part of the Brazilian highlands is a rain shadow region. Beyond the highlands, the effect of the South East Trade Winds gets reduced and the rainfall is minimal. Also, the temperature here is quite high. This rain shadow region is referred to as the ’Drought Quadrilateral’. 3. The northern part of Brazil has higher temperature. 4. The southern part of Brazil lying below 23 V4°S latitude (Tropic of Capricorn) experiences temperate climate. 5. The winds blowing between 0° to 5° N and S zones move in the vertical direction leading to convectional type of rain. The North East and South East Trade winds are very weak in this region. 6. The Isopleth method has been used to show distribution in this map.
