Question

Name the major inhabitants of equatorial climate region?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Equatorial Region

Natural Environment:

The equatorial belt extends roughly between 5°N and 5°S of the Equator. It has uniformly hot and wet climatic conditions throughout the year. The annual range of temperature is low, and seasonal contrasts are at a minimum. The combina­tion of high temperature and high humidity makes the climate unfavourable for sustained human effort, but very favourable for the growth of vegetation.

Economic Base:

The region has red and yellow soils of low fertility as they get leached by heavy rainfall. The natural vegetation comprises of dense, lofty equa­torial forests (also known as “selvas”) containing variety of species. The economic importance lies in their wealth of valuable hardwoods. The tall hard­wood forms a continuous cover at high level. There are small plants forming a second layer and thick undergrowth of bushes.
