Tropical

Tropical refers to the geographical area that lies near the equator, between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. This region is characterized by warm temperatures throughout the year, with minimal temperature variation.

Climate[edit | edit source]

The climate in tropical regions is typically hot and humid, with temperatures remaining relatively constant throughout the year. The average temperature is usually above 18 degrees Celsius, with little variation between day and night. Rainfall is often heavy, especially in the tropical rainforest regions.

Flora and Fauna[edit | edit source]

Tropical regions are home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. The high temperatures and rainfall create ideal conditions for plant growth, resulting in dense vegetation. This includes the tropical rainforests, which are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. Similarly, the fauna in these regions is highly diverse, with a large number of species found nowhere else in the world.

Tropical Diseases[edit | edit source]

Due to the warm and humid conditions, tropical regions are also hotspots for various tropical diseases. These include malaria, dengue fever, and yellow fever, among others. Many of these diseases are transmitted by insects, such as mosquitoes, which thrive in the tropical climate.

Human Habitation[edit | edit source]

Despite the challenging climate and the risk of disease, many people live in tropical regions. These include some of the world's most populous countries, such as India, Indonesia, and Brazil. Human activities, such as agriculture and deforestation, have a significant impact on the tropical environment.
