Landforms

Some great landforms of Brazil include the many rivers that it contains. Most of these rivers exist because they originated in the Andes Mountains or some other highland (like the Brazilian Highlands or Guiana). From their high elevation they flow down towards a lower elevation and usually wind up in the Amazon Basin and let out in the Atlantic Ocean. The many highlands that are in Brazil seem to be randomly placed; however, they are actually located in a plateau. Lastly, something I noticed was the delta near Marajó Island. The reason it happens to be placed there is because the many rivers that are a part of the Amazon Basin converge in the low valley and create the delta-like landform, with small semi-islands created from deposited sediments.
