Location
Uruguay borders in the southeast on the Atlantic Ocean, in the south on the Río de la Plata, in the west on the Río Uruguay (border with Argentina) and in the north on Brazil.
Uruguay occupies the extreme south of the Brazilian Shield, which emerges as a 200 km wide border in the south. In most of Uruguay, the Precambrian base of the Brazilian Shield is covered by Paleozoic and Mesozoic rocks. The layers, which dip slightly to the west and northwest, form distinctive strata. The most important is developed in the trapezoidal ceilings of the Triassic (reinforced in places by intermediate sandstones), in the Cuchilla de Haedo (up to 274 m above sea level) and Cuchilla Negra (300–400 m above sea level) in the north.
The Río Uruguay follows the western, tectonically conditioned demolition of the Brazilian Shield. The rivers flowing towards it divide Uruguay into east-west running hills, also called Cuchillas. Overall, this creates the character of a wide hilly country, which is dominated by layers and hardened rocks (in the crystalline). Only 10% of the land exceeds 200 m above sea level. The highest point in the country (514 m above sea level) is in the Sierra de las Ánimas, the southern continuation of the elongated Cuchilla Grande, the main watershed of the country. The eastern coastal strip, on the open Atlantic, consists of alluvial land with lagoons and spits (especially Laguna Merín). The coastal area of the Crystalline on the Río de la Platais covered with loess in a width of 100–120 km and has been the main arable farming area in the country since the middle of the 19th century.
Climate
Uruguay has a warm temperate, subtropical, fully humid climate, which is influenced by both the humid air masses from the northeast and cold air ingress from the south (Pamperos). The summer mean temperatures are between 21 and 23 ° C on the coast and 25 and 26 ° C in the north, in winter 10-14 ° C (in winter also frosts). The main rainy season is autumn, in the north-west summer; the annual rainfall reaches 900–1,000 mm in the south, in some cases more than 1,300 mm in the north. Droughts and heavy precipitation with floods occur at longer intervals.
Vegetation
The vast grassy areas of the Campos, which are now scarce or without trees and are used as natural pastures, are predominant; In the damp lowlands there are still remnants of the natural trees of the former park landscape, in dry locations there are xerophytes and cacti. Overall, the vegetation of the Campos is richer and more suitable for pasture use than that of the Argentine pampas.
