Snowfall doesn’t always occur in Brazil.

Question

Q.5 (1) Snowfall doesn’t always occur in Brazil.

Doubtly AI · Accepted Answer

Answer: Because most of Brazil lies in the tropical zone and it has no very high mountains. Most of Brazil lies between the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn, i.e. in the tropical zone, so temperatures remain high for most of the year. Brazil has no very high mountain ranges; the Brazilian highlands are of moderate height, so the temperature does not fall low enough for snow. Only the southern part lies south of the Tropic of Capricorn, and the nearness of the Atlantic Ocean moderates its temperature. Occasionally, when cold polar air moves north in winter, light snowfall may occur in the southern highlands (e.g. Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul), but this is rare. In general, therefore, Brazil does not receive snowfall.

Doubtly · Answer

Brazil is a tropical country. It normally does not receive snowfall. Brazil is not located in the polar region. Most of its part is located in the tropical zone. Snowfall generally occurs in the temperate and polar zone due to polar winds. It also occurs in the mountainous and hilly regions of high altitudes. There are no mountainous regions in Brazil. But in exceptional conditions, southern polar air masses reach the southern part of Brazil. This causes snowfall here. Therefore, snowfall doesn’t always occur in Brazil.
