TROPICAL ZONE

The tropical climates are near the equator. Here, the sun shines

brightly. In the tropical zone it is warm or hot all year-round.

Close to the equator, it is very hot and wet and there are no

seasons. The tropical rainforest grows there.

Farther from the equator, it is warm all year round, and there are

typicaly two seasons - a wet season and a dry season. There are

tropical forests and savannas.
