Brazilian Rainforest
"Not
all Brazilian rainforest
is found in Amazon.."
Brazil has also got the so-called Atlantic rainforests which are found along its south-eastern coasts, roughly south from Salvador.
These forests get less rain than Amazon, and they also get cooler temperatures with greater seasonal changes than does the Amazon basin. Altitudes are also more variable than in the amazon.
