Agreste
The
agreste
is a narrow zone of
Brazil
in the
state
s of
Rio Grande do Norte
Paraíba
,
Pernambuco
,
Alagoas
,
Sergipe
and
Bahia
between the coastal forest
zona da mata
and the semiarid
sertão
. The agreste fades out after it reaches
Rio Grande do Norte
due to the break of the mountain-chain that blocks air currents from the Atlantic ocean. This barrier is what induces high rainfalls in the coastal
Atlantic forest zone
.
