This question is incomplete because it lack the picture of the map. Please find attached to this answer the picture of the map.

Answer:

Brazil is experiencing a drought.

Explanation:

From the map attached to this answer, we can see that Brazil is experiencing drought. The reason for this answer is because on the map we are given keys that come in the different colours and this colours represents the centimeters of rainfall that is experienced by areas in South America.

For Brazil, key colour there is white in colour and this indicates that Brazil is experiencing a minimal rainfall of 25 cm or rainfall. This is very low compared to other areas and it is a major indication of drought.

Droughts can be defined a very long time frame or period whereby there is little or no form of rainfall or precipitation in a particular area.

This minimal or lack of rainfall causes the lack of moisture in the Earth crust and this causes the Earth crust to dry up to the extent that we see cracks and patches on the ground.

Drought can also be caused by very extreme and hot weather conditions. This causes major sources of water such as ponds, streams to dry up.
