Tropical deserts are located in regions between 5 and 30 degrees latitude. Environment is very extreme. They have the highest average monthly temperature on Earth. Rainfall is sporadic; precipitation may not be observed at all in a few years. In addition to these extreme environmental and climate conditions, most tropical deserts are covered with sand and rocks, and thus too flat and lacking in vegetation to block out the wind.
While Equatorial regions are located in a band around the Equator and cover about 6% of the Earth's surface. They are often in lowland areas and have a climate that is hot and wet all year round. Tropical rainforests grow in the equatorial regions.
Climate of equatorial regions:-
Temperature:- temperature generally remains high throughout the year with very less diurnal, seasonal and annual changes. Average annual temperature is 30°-35° C.
Average humidity:- also remains high because of high temperature and vast sea surface. It results in higher evaporation. Average humidity is 85–95%
Precipitation:- is also very high because of high humidity. 60–100 inches is average rainfall spread uniformly throughout the year.
