Weather and climate on equatorial countries?
The equatorial climate can be found 5 degrees either side of the equator, however it is by no means continuous- for example it is broken by the Andes in south America.Within this region the climate is hot and humid, there are no seasons and the daily weather patterns is pretty much repeated everyday.the temperature is high, with little annual range. this is due to the sun, which is either directly above the area, or at a very high angle because of this the temperature rarely falls below 22 degees. due to afternoon clouds, the temperature also rarely rises above 32 degrees.The climate involves 12 hours of light, and 12 hours of darkness.the high morning temperature often evaporates the water in the swamps, lakes and vegetation, which results in afternoon convectional rain. heavy dew is common in most evenings.Although there is strong vertical movement, the surface wind are light and variable. examples of places which experience the equatorial climate are: the Congo basin, manaus (south America), Malaysia ect.Equator has very wet climate mostly hot all year round
What is the distance between meridians at the equator?
Assuming the Earth's circumference is 40,075.017 km at the equator, and considering there are 360 meridians which results in 360 meridional regions; 40,075.017/360= ~ 111.32 km = 69.171 miles
Is the amazon rainforest a tropical or temperate rainforest?
sorry i know the answer was not a good answer and you like to know this answerthat was a wrong answer i will speak to the person who published it so i will just find the answerhere is the answer its pretty long it took long to writeThere are two types of Rainforest tropical and temperate. Tropical are found close to the equator. Temperate are found along coasts in the temperate zone.Tropical rainforests are located close to the equator, an area known as the tropic zone. Most are in the area between the Tropic of Cancer. and the Tropic of Capricorn.Temperatures near the equator are higher. These higher temperatures cause accelerated evaporation of water, which results in frequent rain in forested areas in the tropics.Tropical rainforests are found in South and Central America, Africa, Australia, and Asia. Tropical rainforests cover only about 6% of the Earth's surface.The largest tropical rain forest are in the Amazon River Basin, the Congo River Basin, and throughout much of southeast Asia. There are many smaller ones located throughout the tropics including Central America, Madagascar, Australia and India.Temperate rainforests are found in the area of the earth known as the temperate zones. Areas that include temperate rainforests are the pacific coast of the United States and Canada, New Zealand, Tasmania, Chile, Ireland, Scotland and Norway. There are fewer temperate forests.. Also they cover a lot less area.

Why Tropical revolution storm recurve?
Tropical Cyclone usually moves Westwards, but as they turn with Earth rotation they experiences Precession and this results in Tropical Cyclones to move in Pole Direction ( Nothwards). As Earth rotates from West to East, Tropical Cyclones also experiences acceleration in East direction. Thus Tropical Cyclone (moving towards Pole) re curves to East direction.
