Question

Brazil is surrounded by which ocean in the north and the south?
A) Pacific Ocean
B) Indian Ocean
C) Atlantic Ocean
D) Arctic Ocean

Answer 1

Hint: Brazil is the largest South American and Latin American country, making it as the world's fifth-largest country by size and sixth-most populous country. It has a total land area of 8.5 million square kilometres (3 million square miles) and Brazil's capital city is Brasilia, while Sao Paulo is the country's most populated metropolis. Brazil is the world's longest country as well, as it extends for almost 4,395 kilometres from north to south.

Complete answer:
Brazil is a large country in South America, making up over half of the continent's total area. Brazil covers a huge irregular triangle of tropical and subtropical landscapes, including marshes, savannas, plateaus, and low mountains, extending about 2,700 miles (4,350 kilometres) north to south and east to west.

Brazil is home to the vast majority of the Amazon River Basin, which comprises the world's biggest river system and the world's largest unspoiled rainforest. Desert, mountains and tundra regions do not exist in the country.

On its 7,400-mile-long (4,600-km-long) coastline, Brazil faces the Atlantic Ocean and shares its inland borders with every South American country except Chile and Ecuador. The coastline of Brazil is the 16th largest in the world.

Hence, Brazil is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean in the north and the south. Therefore, the correct option is C.

Note: Additionally, Brazil is the only country in the world to be located at both the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn. The topography of the country is equally varied as it includes hills, mountains, plains, highlands, and scrubland. The famous Amazon rainforest also known as the ‘lungs of the earth’ is predominantly located in Brazil, with 60% of the entire forest stretching across the country. For the past 150 years, Brazil has also been the world's leading coffee producer.
