The rainforest in the basin is the most rapidly depleting rainforest in the world loosing 52,000 square miles every year. The basin also takes up more than sixty per cent of Brazils land mass, it also gets more than two hundred centimetres of rain each year.
Brazil has a rainy season which occurs during the summer months. The east of Brazil suffers from drought on a regular basis. Brazil is positioned on the center of the South American plate so there is very little seismic activity
