If you look at a map you will see that Vietnam is close to the equator; all lands and seas around the globe within the vicinity of the equator are similar in climate.

Still looking at a map, and looking at North America, you will see that the southern tip of Texas, Louisiana and Florida...although not close to the equator, are still the southern most regions of the continental US, and those places have swamps!

Why are swamps that covered the earth millions of years ago so important now?

Swamps that covered the earth millions of years ago are important now because they played a crucial role in trapping and storing carbon, which helped regulate the Earth's climate.
