What are the characteristics of a tropical region?
The Tropics are the land and sea areas between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn which are 23.5 degrees north(Cancer) and south(Capricorn) of the Equator. These areas are typically hot, humid and rainy, with lush vegetation and lots of insects, snakes and reptiles. But these conditions are most pronounced at or near sea level and change as the land rises, e.g. into mountains. There is also plenty of desert in the Tropics

Which distance is greater The distance between the North and South poles The distance around the Tropic of Capricorn The distance around the Equator The distance around the Tropic of Cancer?
== == The perimeter of the equator is the greatest because the earth is a flattened sphere shape due to the influence of centrifugal force - a result of its rotation. The tropic of Cancer is slightly greater than the Tropic of Capricorn as there is a majority of continental land in the north. Land has a higher elevation than sea and to go around it you have to go to a higher elevation (radius) which means a greater perimeter. The north south distance is the least as it is a straight line.
