The tropical zone is a zone that occupies the low latitudes, mostly between the Equator and 30 degrees of latitude, though there are exceptions.
Step-by-step explanation:
The tropical zone is a zone that consists of several different types of climates classified as tropical climates. This zone can be found between the Equator and 30 degrees of latitude, both north and south. These climates are divided into several different types:
- tropical rainforest (wet)
- savanna (wet and dry)
- steppe (semi-arid)
- desert (arid)
In general, the tropical climate zones closer tot he Equator tend to be the wettest, with huge amounts of rainfall, and having lush vegetation. The second closest zone to the Equator tends to be the savanna which is wet and dry, with part of the year being very dry, and part of the year being very wet, and the landscape is dominated by tall grasses and shrubs.
The third zone, north and south of the savanna is the steppe. It is semi-arid, with small amounts of precipitation only in one particular part of the year. It is dominated by short grasses. The zone on the outskirts of the tropical zone is the desert. It is arid zone, with the precipitation being below 250 mm annually, and often lacking for years at a time. The landscape is dominated by send or barren rock.
