| 2. | In India, the average temperature is higher throughout the year since the sun’s rays are perpendicular up to the Tropic of Cancer, which passes through it. | In Brazil, the equator cuts across the northern part of the country which results in 25° C to 28° C of average temperature in the Amazon Valley. |
| 3. | The temperature in the northern states of India is cold. The temperature increases towards the southern states. | The northern part of Brazil is generally hot, while in the southern part, the temperature is comparatively lower. |
| 4. | India receives rainfall due to the South-west monsoon winds, and the rainfall is mainly of orographic rain. | Brazil receives orographic type of rainfall from the South-east Trade winds & North-east Trade winds, and the rainfall in the northern part of Brazil is of convectional type. |
