Tropical cyclones occur rarely in Brazil.
Q.5 (2) Tropical cyclones occur rarely in Brazil.
Answer: Because conditions for cyclone formation are weak near Brazil's equatorial coast.
Near the equator on the Brazilian coast the differences in temperature are negligible and the winds move mainly in a vertical direction. The convergence zone of the trade winds is also weak here. As a result cyclones are not formed, so tropical cyclones rarely visit the coasts of Brazil.
