Why has mining not developed in the western part of Brazil?
Advertisements
उत्तर
- Minerals like iron ore, manganese, nickel, copper, bauxite, tungsten, diamonds, etc. are found mainly in the eastern part of Brazil and this region is highly developed.
- However, the western part of Brazil is not fully developed. Most of the part is covered by thick dense equatorial rainforests. So, unfavorable climate, heavy rainfall, poor transport links etc. are all barriers to the development.
- Moreover, inaccessibility, limitations on the use of natural resources, lack of knowledge of potential reserves of resources, etc. are other factors that have led to limitations in mining in the western part of Brazil.
Due to all these reasons, mining is not developed in the western part of Brazil.
