Question

Give geographical reason

The northern part of Brazil is covered by dense forests.

Answer 1

1. Amazon River flows in the northern part of Brazil and nearly two-third part of Brazil is covered by this river.
2. Also the equator passes through this region, hence the climate is hot and it rains throughout the year. It receives a convectional type of rainfall. These environmental conditions are favourable for the growth of trees.
3. However, this climate, heavy rainfall, dense forests, etc. acts as a barrier to the development of the human settlement. Hence, the interior in the Amazon Basin is very sparsely populated.
4. Thus, due to the Amazon River, heavy rainfall, ample sunlight, hot and humid climate, and very few human settlements which indicate negligible interference of human, the northern part of Brazil is covered by dense forests.
