Brazil
is about 35 times the size of the UK, and crosses several climatic
zones. Where the climate is equatorial, tropical rainforest
is the dominant ecosystem.
Climatic conditions elsewhere in the country give rise to other
ecosystems.
To find out how Brazil's
ecosystems
vary, and how these correspond to changes in the climate,
click on the different icons on the map.
Look
at the graphs that show the climate in three of the ecosystems
included on the map. Decide which ecosystem is most likely
to fit the climate shown in each graph. Click on one of the
choices beneath each graph and see if you are right.
