It's hotter there.
Tropics
Tropical air is warm and moist due to high sea water evaporation. Polar air is cold and dry due to less evaporation taking place. Any rain is likely to fall as snow in the polar regions.
there is more energy available to support more organisms in the tropics
Tornadoes can happen in the tropics but they are more common in temperate latitudes.
the second one
Evaporation is a more common process.
More evaporation happens from oceans because it has more water
Evaporation. When water evaporates it cools. There is less water in the desert air than in the tropic air, so water evaporates quicker and more efficiently. Thus you cool faster.
the second one
More evaporation of water mostly takes place in the oceans.
No, the tropics start at the Tropic of Cancer which is more than 200 miles south of fort Myers.
Vapor pressure is just a measure of water vapor in the air. The amount of moisture air can hold increases rapidly as temperature increases, and it is very warm in the tropics. Additionally, converging air in the tropics tends to generate a lot of rain, which provides plentiful sources for evapotranspiration outside of the tropical oceans.
