1. Even though the interior has much more land area, it has a harsher climate, a poorer terrain, and is not connected to the cities along the coast. Coastal regions have a smaller land area, but have a better climate and terrain. The cities of the coastal region are better connected.
2. I am Brazilian and I will explain: Brazil was colonized by the Portuguese, our country was not different from the one cologne, but for developing operation, the Brazilian coast was the first to be explored with the extraction of pau brasil, a typical tree of our country almost extinct. then with the constant threat of French and Dutch to Portuguese of Brazil tumar the Portuguese king ordered that the world was colonized, then began the planting of sugar cane to produce sugar to Europe, this occurred for a long time not only on the coast to go to the inside, so the coast has much in the interior of the country, but then began to create steers the coast only those cows ate the sugar cane plantations, then by royal decree could not create steers than 60 miles from the coast, there was that the interior of Brazil began to develop, but until today all businesses are on the coast of the country, with the development of agricultural machines with several people lost their jobs in the farms of the interior and were seeking employment in the Brazilian coast where the major Brazilian cities such as Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, these jobless people formed the slum that today is a major problem in Rio de Janeiro. Finally since our colonization until today everything is always done in the Brazilian coast, and people in search of jobs leave the interior to seek better life in the Brazilian coast, but what was found hunger and poverty and that they were fudaram the slum. I hope I have helped friend
