उत्तर
- The Amazon plain forms the largest plain land of Brazil and lies between the two highlands, viz., the Guyana Highlands and the Brazilian Highlands.
- It lies in the northern parts of Brazil and generally slopes eastwards.
- The Amazon basin is quite wide in the west (about 1300 km), and it narrows eastward.
- Its width is minimum where the Guyana Highlands and Brazilian Highlands come closer (240 km).
- The width of the plains increases as the river approaches the Atlantic Ocean.
- Most of the Amazon plains are covered by tropical rainforests.
- These are mostly forested areas and largely inaccessible due to frequent flooding and dense undergrowth.
