nation aside from Chile and Ecuador—explicitly, Uruguay toward the south; Argentina,
Paraguay, and Bolivia toward the southwest; Peru toward the west; Colombia toward the
northwest; and Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana toward the north.
Brazil extends about 2,700 miles (4,350 km) from north to south and from east to west to
shape an immense unpredictable triangle that envelops a wide scope of tropical and
subtropical scenes, including wetlands, savannas, levels, and low mountains. Brazil
contains the vast majority of the Amazon River bowl, which has the world's biggest
stream framework and the world's most-broad virgin rainforest. The nation contains no
desert, high-mountain, or icy conditions.
