What basin lies primarily in northern brazil

The correct answer is - Amazon Basin.

The northern half of Brazil is dominated by the Amazon Basin. This basin is formed by one of the longest rivers in the world, the Amazon River, which is also the river that has the highest amount of water in it. It lies in the middle of the Amazon Basin, cutting it in half, and in certain parts of the year flooding parts of it. This basin is covered by tropical rainforest, in fact the largest tropical rainforest in the world, the Amazon rainforest. It is an area dominated by lowlands and small hills, cut by thousands of smaller and larger rivers, all of which are tributaries to the largest one, the Amazon River. This basin is also the place on the planet that has the highest biodiversity in the world of plants or animals.
