Question
Give a geographical reason.
The waterways are not developed in Brazil.
Solution 1
- Most of the rivers in Brazil flow with high speed.
- The amount of discharge of many rivers is very huge.
- Rivers in Brazil have highlands. As a result, these regions have become remote. Therefore, waterways have not been developed in Brazil.
Solution 2
- Presence of Waterfalls and Rapids: Many rivers in Brazil, especially in the highland regions, have numerous waterfalls and rapids, making navigation difficult.
- Seasonal Variation in Water Levels: Some rivers experience fluctuating water levels due to heavy rainfall in some seasons and drought-like conditions in others, affecting continuous water transport.
- Dense Rainforests and Remote Areas: The Amazon Rainforest covers a vast portion of Brazil, making it challenging to construct ports, docks, and navigational infrastructure in these areas.
