Its territory has a large variety of rock types, geological structures and climates. The country has a large variety of landscapes, such as the humid plains of the Amazon River, the dry plateaus of the semi-arid region or the subtropical mountains of the southern region. On the coast, some plateaus and mountains, like the Serra do Mar Mountain range, formed a significant barrier front to access the hinterland of Brazil. On the other side of these coastal plateaus and mountains, there is a large collection of other plateaus, mountains, plains and depressions little altered by human interference. Thus, Brazil has a unique variety of different landscapes and extraordinary geomorphological sites. The book invites readers to learn more about the beautiful Brazilian landscapes, their complexity and vastness. 410 0$aWorld Geomorphological Landscapes,$x2213-2090 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aSoil science 606 $aSoil conservation 606 $aGeomorphology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16010 606 $aPhysical Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16000 606 $aSoil Science & Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000 615 0$aGeomorphology. 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aSoil science. 615 0$aSoil conservation. 615 14$aGeomorphology. 615 24$aPhysical Geography. 615 24$aSoil Science & Conservation. 676 $a333.720971 702 $aVieira$b Bianca Carvalho$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSalgado$b André Augusto Rodrigues$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSantos$b Leonardo José Cordeiro$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299430703321 996 $aLandscapes and Landforms of Brazil$92537197 997 $aUNINA
