d) There are no large temperature variations between coastal climates and those at higher altitudes.
e) It is located in an area that allows the definition of the four seasons of the year.

Correct alternative: b) It is diversified, as the tropical coastal climate and the tropical highland climate coexist in this region.

Hard level

question 9

Look at the image below:

Map and graph of the Brazilian population by regions

Check the correct alternative that expresses the information contained in the chart:

a) About 73% of the population of the Northeast lives in the countryside, which makes this region the most rural in Brazil.
b) The regions that have most of the population living in urban areas are the South and Southeast.
c) From reading the graphs it is clear that rural concentration is very strong in regions such as the Midwest and North.
d) The phenomenon of displacement of the rural population to the urban environment, illustrated in this image, is called urban exodus.

Correct alternative: e) The majority of the Brazilian population lives in urban areas and this is a phenomenon that can be found in all five regions of the country.

The graph shows that more than 70% of the population of all Brazilian regions live in urban and non-rural areas.

a) WRONG. About 73% of the population in the Northeast lives in cities and not in the countryside.
c) WRONG. The graphs show exactly the opposite, as most of the population in the North and Midwest regions live in urban areas.
d) WRONG. This phenomenon is known as rural exodus, that is, the departure of people from the countryside to the city.

question 10

Read the text below:

It is the second region with the fewest number of states, where soybean, corn, rice and sugar cane cultivation predominate. Likewise, its cultural diversity is immense with typical festivals, such as the "Cavalhadas" that mobilize the population.

Check the alternative that corresponds to the region of Brazil described in the text:

a) North region
b) Northeast region
c) Midwest Region
d) Southeast region
e) Southern Region

Correct alternative: c) Midwest Region

The Center-West Region has three states and the Federal District, which makes it the second region in Brazil with fewer states (the first is the South, with three). Its economy is driven by the extensive cultivation of soy, corn, rice and sugar cane and one of the most representative of this region is the "Cavalhada" recreation of the combat between Moors and Christians, which takes place in the states of Goiás and Mato Grosso.

a) WRONG. The North Region is the second in the largest number of states, with 7, and its economy is based on mineral and plant extraction, rather than extensive agriculture. The "Cavalhada" is not a typical party there either.
b) WRONG. The Northeast Region is the one with the highest number of states, 9, and soy is not among the most cultivated product. The "Cavalhada" is not a celebration of the Northeast either.
d) WRONG. The Southeast Region also has four states, but its economy is predominantly industrialized and not rural. Although "Cavalhada" is practiced in Campo (RJ), it is a local festival in this city.
e) WRONG. The Southern Region has the smallest number of states: only 3. Soy is also a widely grown product there, but not sugar cane, which is planted by small landowners. We also find "Cavalhada" in the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná.
