Explanation:
High temperature and abundant rainfall in the equatorial regions support a luxuriant type of vegetation-the tropical rain forest. In the Amazon lowlands, the forest is so dense and so complete in its vegetational extravagance that a special term 'selvas' is used.

" Climate of the Equatorial region and Mediterranean region "
Explanation:
- The amount of rainfall has an effect on plant life. Rainfall varies greatly from year to year in some locations, such as the Sahel zone. Droughts have caused famine and malnutrition in many parts of the Sahel and Ethiopia in recent decades. Africa's agriculture is influenced by rainfall.
- Mahogany, ebony, greenheart, cabinet woods, and dyewoods are just a few of the tropical hardwoods produced by the equatorial plants.
- Mediterranean flora is mostly influenced by the region's environment, which has hot, dry summers and warm, wet winters, although it has long been distinguished by its population.
- Summer droughts and winter rains are well-known. Rainfall diminishes from the shore to the interior due to the fact that it is located in the Westerly zone.
- Cold arctic winds known as 'Mistral' in the Rhone Valley of France and 'Bora' in Greece also afflict this region.
- North Africa is also affected by hot and dry winds known as 'Sirrco' and 'Khamsin' in Egypt. These winds raise the temperature and cause agricultural damage.
