उत्तर
- Brazil’s great latitudinal expanse leads to a wide range of climates. For example, in the equator, the environment is hot, whereas near the Tropic of Capricorn, it is temperate.
- In coastal regions near the Equator, the sun’s rays are perpendicular, resulting in consistent temperatures throughout the year. Furthermore, winds move vertically in this area.
- Also, the convergence zone of trade winds near coastal places is modest. As a result, cyclones do not form.
Therefore, tropical cyclones occur rarely in Brazil.
