Why is the rainforest near the equator?

The rainforest is near the equator because it receives consistent sunlight throughout the year, creating a warm and humid climate that is optimal for the growth of diverse plant and animal species. The high amount of rainfall and stable temperatures at the equator also contribute to the lush vegetation and biodiversity found in rainforests.


Does The celestial equator always pass directly overhead?

No, the celestial equator does not always pass directly overhead. The position of the celestial equator in the sky is determined by the observer's latitude on Earth. If the observer is located at the equator, the celestial equator will pass directly overhead. However, for observers at different latitudes, the celestial equator will appear at an angle to the horizon.


Why the climate changes in rainforest?

The other guy was way way wrong. The rainforest is hot because it is on the equator. It is hot all year round, at about 23-26 degrees. There is a specific reason why it is hot on the equator, but it is very difficult to explain without diagrams.


Why does India have glaciers that are over 240 years old if it is located at the equator?

India is not at the equator, though it is located at a latitude generally associated with warm climate. The glaciers of India are in the Himalayas, the tallest mountain range in the world. No matter the latitude, it is always cold at high elevation. Even at the equator, the air more than 5 kilometers above sea level is almost always below freezing. Temperatures in the Himalayas are certainly low enough to support the formation of glaciers.


What is the difference between the Temperate region and the Frigid zone?

torrid zone is the heatest zone of earth as compared to temperate zone. the torrid zone lies between tropics of cancer & capricorn, while the temperate zone has been divided into 2, the north temperate zone which lies between tropic of cancer & arctic circle, the south temperate zone lies between tropicof capricorn & antarctic circle.

Why are rain forests found and where are they?

Rainforests are always found closer to the equator or the tropics of Capricorn or Cancer, these areas have hot moist air and very high rainfall fostering the lush growth of the forest.

What is equatorial climate?

Equatorial climate is hot but wet and is found within 5 degrees either side of the equator. This is due to the angle of the earth facing the sun. The equator is always in the sun so this causes tropical rainforests to grow along it. It rains here every afternoon.


Why are tropical rainforest near the equater?

The region around the equator is the tropics (both north and south), so any rainforest around the equator which is in the tropics is a tropical rainforest. A rainforest can exist (and does exist) outside the tropics. The Pacific Northwest, for example, has the Hoh rainforest. A "tropical rainforest" is typically hot year round with little temperature change from month to month. Tropical rainforests are near the equator because the climate there is warm, very wet and constant due to the position of the sun over the equator; it's always directly overhead. The plants that live there thrive in these conditions. There are only two seasons in the tropical rainforests: wet season and dry season. The rainforests are so wet because whenever it rains, the water collects on the big leaves of the trees and evaporates quickly, forms into clouds and rains down again.
