Explanation:

Equatorial hot, wet climate is found between 5–10 degree north & south of the equator. There is no month without the rain & a distinct dry season like that of savanna or tropical monsoon climate is absent. They contain about half of the world’s known animal species and provide about 40% of the world’s oxygen. There is neither drought nor cold to check the growth in any part of the year. Equatorial vegetation comprises a multitude of evergreen trees that yields tropical hardwood viz. Mahogany, Ebony, Greenheart, Cabinet Woods & Dyewoods. The evinronment of the Equatorial regions is conducive for plants not for humans, because humidity persists all the day and hence the area becomes prone to disease.
