Answer:
C. Brazil
Explanation:
The South American country that managed to achieve independence is actually the largest and most populous country, Brazil. Brazil has been established as a Portuguese colony during the Age of Exploration.
The Portuguese saw what is now Brazil as an excellent territory for making a colony where large plantations of cash crops will be established, thus to make lot of wealth from them. That functioned well for some time, but the authorities in Brazil gradually started to become more and more powerful.
With the colony slowly becoming more and more independent, and the population growing rapidly and surpassing the one of Portugal, Brazil decided that it wanted to be independent. While the Portuguese were not fond of this idea, they saw that it would be impossible for them to win a war with Brazil at that time, so the independence was gained through negotiations.
Portugal and Brazil kept close thighs and good relations, and still do.

Answer:
Water from rivers erodes the banks, the ice breaks up rocks, intense rainfall causes mass wasting, water from rainfall flows as runoff and creates ripples.
Explanation:
Earth has several spheres, all of which have their own unique characteristics that define them as such. Despite all of them being very different from each other, they can not exist in the form they are if there is no interaction with the other spheres, thus all of the spheres are interconnected and they depend on one another.
Two of those hydrospheres are the hydrosphere and geosphere, and they interact in many different ways. When there is rainfall, the water that ends on land flows as runoff until it reaches a water body, and while it does so it manages to create ripples in the ground. If there is intense rainfall in an area where there is steep and unstable terrain, it can easily cause mass wasting by oversaturating the soil with water. The water that flows in the rivers with its power is constantly eroding the banks. If water freezes and turns to ice because its volume becomes greater, it is able to break up rocks with the pressure it creates on them.
Answer:
Canada, United States, Brazil, Argentina
Explanation:
The four largest countries by area in the Western Hemisphere are Canada, United States, Brazil, and Argentina. These countries are located in North and South America, with Canada and the United States being in North America, while Brazil and Argentina being in South America. All of these countries are in the top 10 largest countries in the world by area, with Canada being on the second place, the United States on third, Brazil fifth, and Argentina eight. One of the main reasons why these countries are so large is because they are countries of the New World, all being former colonies, where the populations where relatively small, but the European settlers managed to occupy very large areas. Once they gained independence, the boundaries were set in accordance to the colonial boundaries, so instead of having numerous smaller countries divided because of ethnicity, race, or culture, large multiracial, multiethnic, multicultural countries were established.
