Answer:

It is not true that the first colonists founded the capital in the Brazilian Highlands.

Explanation:

The capital of Brazil, Brasilia, is located in the region of the Brazilian Highlands, but was not founded by the first colonizers of the territory.

The capital's original urban plan, known as "Plano Piloto", was developed by the urban planner and architect Lucio Costa, who, taking advantage of the region's relief, adapted it to the Paranoa lake project, conceived in 1893. The city started to be planned and developed in 1956 by Lucio Costa, by the architect Oscar Niemeyer and by the structural engineer Joaquim Cardozo. Inaugurated on April 21, 1960, by then President Juscelino Kubitschek, Brasilia formally became the third capital of Brazil, after Salvador and Rio de Janeiro. Viewed from above, the main area of the city is often described as having the shape of an airplane, but Lucio Costa's initial proposal was that it resembled the sign of the cross.

What is the force that drives the Wisconsin river?
grandymaker [24]
The Wisconsin River originates in the forests of the North Woods Lake District of northern Wisconsin, in Lac Vieux Desert near the border of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It flows south across the glacial plain of central Wisconsin, passing through Wausau, Stevens Point, and Wisconsin Rapids. In southern Wisconsin it encounters the terminal moraine formed during the last ice age, where it forms the Dells of the Wisconsin River. North of Madison at Portage, the river turns to the west, flowing through Wisconsin's hilly Western Upland and joining the Mississippi approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Prairie du Chien.

Identify and describe the environmental impact of development on the amazon basin.​
Nadya [2.5K]

The Amazon Basin is located in brazil. For centuries, this has protected the area, people, and the animals residing in it. Forest recession has occurred in the past 30 years due to increased industry and population growth through road projects, settlement initiatives, and industrial development.

The Amazon Basin includes a diversity of traditional inhabitants as well as biodiversity in both flora and fauna. These peoples have lived in the rain forest for thousands of years, and their lifestyles and cultures are well-adapted to this environment. Contrary to popular belief, their subsistence living methods do not significantly harm the environment. In the past few decades, the real threat to the Amazon Basin has been deforestation, poaching, and cattle ranching by transnational corporations.

Oil and gas development often also takes a heavy toll on the environment and local people; especially in rainforest areas where it can cause displacement of local people, air and water pollution, and construction of roads that open previously inaccessible areas to deforestation.

That said, even a new NASA study shows that over the last 20 years, the atmosphere above the Amazon Basin has been drying out, increasing the demand for water and leaving ecosystems vulnerable to fires and drought. It also shows that this increase in dryness is primarily the result of human activities.

Summary: all impacts caused by human development in the Amazon Basin is causing the atmosphere to go bad, the crops and indigenous plants to die at alarming rates, the water to be polluted, and the animals and humans who are indigenous of the area suffer the consequences.
