Thread: Volcanoes

Do you know where is the highest active volcano in Brazil? When and where was the latest volcanic eruption in Brazil?

Brazil has no active volcanoes. Brazil does have the worlds oldenst volcanoes (1.9 billion years old). The islands of Trindade and Martim Vaz east of Vitoria in the S. Atlantic are volcanoes. The last eruption of Trindade was in the Holocene

The Chapada Diamantina, or Brazil’s Lost World.Now the Chapada Diamantina National Park, created on 1980's, this is a region of mixed terrain: verdant slopes and red-rock mesas fed by the underground water, waterfalls and pools contrasting with the nearby drought-ridden semi-arid Sertão.

This is one of the developed underground rivers in Brazil.

Why "Brazil's Lost World"? How long is this underground river?
