Everything about The Brazilian Highlands totally explained
The
Brazilian Highlands (or
Planalto Brasileiro) are an extensive
geographical region, covering most of the eastern, southern and central portions of
Brazil, in all approximately half of the country's land area, or some 4,000,000 km² (1,544,000 sq mi). In addition, the vast majority of Brazil's population (186,112,794
2004 est.) lives in the highlands or on the narrow coastal region immediately adjacent to it.
Ancient
basaltic
lava flows gave birth to much of the region. However, the time of dramatic
geophysical activity is long past, as there's now no
seismic or
volcanic activity.
Erosion has also played a large part in shaping the Highlands, forming extensive
sedimentary deposits and wearing down the mountains.
The Brazilian Highlands are notable for the great diversity to be found there: within it there are several different
biomes, vastly different
climatic conditions, many types of
soil, and thousands of animal and plant species.
Due to its extension and diversity of characteristics, the Brazilian Highlands are subdivided in three parts: the Atlantic plateaus, the north-east coast which occupies the south, with several mountain ranges; the Central plateaus that occupy the Center-West region and are formed by sedimentary plateaus and ancient crystalline plateaus; and the Southern plateaus that predominate in the Southeastern and South regions, formed by sedimentary lands covered partially by basaltic lava spills that have formed the fertile ground of that people call "purple land".
