Detailed explanation-1: -The countries located closer to the Equator have an Equatorial type of climate or Tropical rainforest climate. The Equatorial climate is usually hot, very humid, and wet. The atmospheric pressure is low in an equatorial climate. Due to the Intertropical Convergence Zone, equatorial regions get heavy rainfall.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tropical rainforests are found closer to the equator where it is warm. Temperate rainforests are found near the cooler coastal areas further north or south of the equator. The tropical rainforest is a hot, moist biome where it rains all year long.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hot, Wet Equatorial Climate is found between 5° and 10° north and south of the equator. It is dominantly found in the lowlands of the Amazon, the Cango, Malaysia and the East Indies.
Detailed explanation-4: -Tropical forests are found at a greater distance from the equator where day length and rainfall vary seasonally, whereas equatorial forests are near the equator where variation is very little and day length is constant. Tropical moist forests are distinguished from equatorial forests by a cooler dry season.
