Today I'll talk about natural phenomena that happen in Brazil: Pororoca, this is de longest wave in the world!
The waves has height of up to 4 meters and go up to 13 km per hour.
The name Pororoca came the indigenous language Tupi that mean ''great destructive noise''.
You can heard the wave 30 minutes before it come and it's so powerful that carries everything trees, houses, animals.
This phenomena happen twice a year, between February and March in Amapa, state of Brazil.
In addition, the Amazon has a few other dangerous floating in the line-up you’re not likely to see at your home break, including crocodiles, piranha’s, and poisonous snakes.
I had never heard about this before, Ana. Very interesting. Remember to use quotes (" ") around any language that you are quoting from another website. Good work!
