From 1808 to 1821 Rio was the seat of the exiled royal family of Portugal, and in 1822 it became the capital of the independent Brazilian Empire.

Taken together, the data indicate that the alkaline-carbonatitic magmatism originated from subcontinental mantle that is heterogeneous on a small scale.
In this scenario, the Walvis Ridge – Rio Grande Rise and Vitória – Trindade hotspot tracks might reflect the accommodation of stresses in the lithosphere during rifting, rather than continuous magmatism caused by mantle plumes beneath the moving lithosphere (see also the South Atlantic and Africa pages).
Furthermore, the geochemical and isotope signatures of Walvis Ridge and Rio Grande basalts may be explained by detached continental lithospheric mantle left behind during the continental break-up processes (Comin-Chiaramonti et al.
