Brazil_Population

Brazil Population Brazil Population Distribution Brazil is a very large country in south America with an increasing population distributed within it. The Amazon river flows across the north of Brazil and the Amazon basin surrounds the river. On average, less than one person per square kilometre lives there because of the location. It is inaccessible, surrounded by land for thousands of miles. Transport through the tropical rainforest is difficult especially in the very hot, wet and humid conditions. The basin comprises dense tropical vegetation and has poor mineral resources. The land can not be farmed and the tropical climate is too humid to be populated. Along the actual river itself there is a slightly higher population, with between 1 to 10 people per square kilometre. This is because the river is good for transport along it and to the coast. It makes the area more accessible for trade and industry, encouraging development. Manaus is the only main area of population along the river. It was originally the centre of the rubber collecting industry, an important means of trade in the Amazon basin, and has now become the largest river port along the Amazon.
