Climates

The prominent climate of Brazil would be Tropical Wet and Dry. This is occurs right below the Equator (about 5 degrees south and lower). Most of the contributing factors include the low latitude where this climate exists, and the elevation ranging from 700 ft. to 7,000 ft. A close second largest climate would be the Tropical Wet climate. This climate is located right around the Equator, and lies in a very low and fertile valley, also known as the Amazon Basin. This area receives a ton of precipitation a year and maintains a constant warm temperature. The other few climates in Brazil consist of Humid Subtropical, Semiarid, and Marine West Coast. The main out of the three, Humid Subtropical, is located around the Tropic of Capricorn and the southern tip of the continent. Latitude plays a role in this climate because it is remain in the Mid-Latitude range.
