Answers: (a) Highlands, (b) ancient plateau, (c) covered by dense forests, (d) no deltas are found, (e) coral islands, (f) lies the Mewad Plateau.

  1. Brazil is covered mainly by highlands. The Brazilian Highlands (plateau) occupy most of the country; plains are found mainly in the Amazon basin and along the coast.
  2. Like Brazil, India too has an ancient plateau. The Brazilian Highlands and India's Peninsular (Deccan) Plateau are both made of very old, hard rocks.
  3. The Amazon Basin is mainly covered by dense forests. Heavy rainfall throughout the year supports dense equatorial evergreen forests.
  4. Near its mouth no deltas are found. The Amazon carries a huge volume of water at high speed, so its sediments are washed into the Atlantic Ocean instead of being deposited at the mouth.
  5. The Lakshadweep Islands are coral islands. They are built by the deposition of coral polyps in the Arabian Sea.
  6. At the foothills of the Aravalis lies the Mewad (Mewar) Plateau, on the eastern side of the range in Rajasthan.
