	Mondongos The mondongos are low-lying swamp fields in the north of the island Marajó in the Brazilian state Pará. They are flooded during the wet season, which occurs between January and May. The mondongos occur in the transition zone between the tropical rainforest on the west of the island and the savannas in the east. They stretch for around . The mondongos are situated on an old arm of the Amazon River that crossed the island Marajó when it was still forming. A ridge of sandstone separates them from the current main channel of this river. According to Ferreira Penna, the mondongos were created when the Amazon deposited sediments against this ridge. The many streams in the area have tides that are influenced by the Amazon, not by the Pará River. The mondongos are largely covered with swamp rice grass and water hyacinths. Their roots form a dense mass that makes the area difficult to thread. The edges of the mondongos, as well as the banks of the many streams are lined with '' anin ...

Today, the island is known for its large water buffalo population, as well as the ''pororoca'' tidal bore periodically exhibited by high tides overcoming the usual complex hydrodynamic interactions in the surrounding rivers. It is the second-largest island in South America, and the 35th largest island in the world. With a land area of Marajó is comparable in size to Switzerland. Its maximum span is long and in perpendicular width. Geography ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Rivers Of Pará A river is a natural stream of fresh water that flows on land or inside caves towards another body of water at a lower elevation, such as an ocean, lake, or another river. A river may run dry before reaching the end of its course if it runs out of water, or only flow during certain seasons. Rivers are regulated by the water cycle, the processes by which water moves around the Earth. Water first enters rivers through precipitation, whether from rainfall, the runoff of water down a slope, the melting of glaciers or snow, or seepage from aquifers beneath the surface of the Earth. Rivers flow in channeled watercourses and merge in confluences to form drainage basins, or catchments, areas where surface water eventually flows to a common outlet. Rivers have a great effect on the landscape around them. They may regularly overflow their banks and flood the surrounding area, spreading nutrients to the surrounding area. Sediment or alluvium carried by rivers shapes the landscape ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
