Solution
- The northeastern Brazilian Highlands are situated in the rain-shadow region, away from the direct impact of moist Atlantic winds.
- The prevailing trade winds shed much of their moisture before reaching this area, leading to reduced rainfall.
- The hot and dry climate of the region further decreases the amount of precipitation received.
