what places lie near torrid zone
Answers
In geography, the torrid zone is more often known as the tropical zone or tropics owing to its location between the tropical circles. Going by its definition, it is the region of Earth lying between the Tropic of Cancer at 23.5°North and Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5°South of the Equator. The Tropic of Cancer forms the torrid zone boundary in the Northern Hemisphere, while the Tropic of Capricorn forms its boundary in the Southern Hemisphere.
In the Western Hemisphere, the countries that come in torrid zone include Mexico,Central America, all of the Caribbean islands from just south of Nassau in the Bahamas, and the top half of South America, including Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, northern portions of Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. In Africa, the only nations that cannot be called tropical countries are Morocco and Tunisia in the north and Lesotho and Swaziland in the south. All the rest lie either entirely, or at least partly, in the tropics. The Middle East has four tropical countries: Yemen, parts of Saudi Arabia, Oman, and United Arab Emirates. India lies mostly in the tropics, and all countries of Southeast Asia are tropical countries. Australia, Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, Kiribati, and most of the other island nations of Oceania in the South Pacific are tropical countries, as well.
