Rio Grande do Norte
Rio Grande do Norte (lit. "Great Northern River", in reference to the mouth of the Potenji River, (:ʁi.u ˈɡɾɐ̃dʒi du ˈnɔʁtʃi)〔In Brazilian Portuguese variant spoken in Rio Grande do Norte. The European Portuguese pronunciation is .〕) is one of the states of Brazil, located in the northeastern region of the country, occupying the northeasternmost tip of the South American continent. Because of its geographic position, Rio Grande do Norte has a strategic importance. The capital and largest city is Natal. It is the land of the folklorist Luís da Câmara Cascudo and, according to NASA,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Natal, a mais segura. O ar mais puro )〕 it has the purest air in the Americas. Its 410 km (254 mi) of sand, much sun, coconut palms and lagoons are responsible for the fame of beaches. Rocas Atoll, the only such feature in the Atlantic Ocean, is part of the state. The main economic activity is tourism, followed by the extraction of petroleum (the second largest producer in the country), agriculture, fruit growing and extraction of minerals, including considerable production of seasalt, among other economic activities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Notícia inválida )〕 The state is famous for having many popular attractions such as the Maior cajueiro do mundo (world's largest cashew tree),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UOL – Página não encontrada )〕 the dunes and the dromedaries of Genipabu,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Genipabu )〕 the famous beaches of Ponta Negra, Maracajaú and Pipa's paradise,〔() 〕 the Carnatal the largest off-season carnival in Brazil, the Forte dos Reis Magos is a sixteenth-century fortress,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fortaleza dos Reis Magos )〕 the hills and mountains of Martins,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Martins )〕 the Dunas Park the second largest urban park in the country,〔() 〕 and several other attractions. The state is also closest to the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fernando de Noronha )〕
==Geography==
Rio Grande do Norte is dominated by its coastline. The state is famed for its beaches and sand dunes, and the air is, according to NASA, the second-cleanest in the world after Antarctica.
Two climates predominate: humid tropical, in the oriental littoral, and semi-arid, in the remaining (most part) of the State (including the North coast).
The rainforest which once covered most of Brazil's coast had its northern end in the south of Rio Grande do Norte; the area north of Natal, the capital, is under dunes, a kind of formation associated with semi-arid climate. The semi-arid climate is characterized not only by the low level but also the irregularity of rainfall; some years can go by with no or very little rain; most of the interior of the State is part of the Polygon of Droughts (an area which receives special attention from the federal government). There are also many mangroves in the state, and the interior is dominated by rainforest. Rocas Atoll in the Atlantic Ocean, 260 km Northeast of Natal, also belongs to the state of Rio Grande do Norte.
