The Equatorial Region is a zone located around the Earth's equator, typically between latitudes 5° north and 5° south. This area is characterized by a warm climate with minimal temperature variation throughout the year. It experiences high levels of rainfall, often resulting in lush vegetation and diverse ecosystems. The region is home to some of the world's most significant rainforests, such as the Amazon Rainforest and the Congo Basin. These forests support a wide variety of wildlife and plant species, making the equatorial region one of the most biodiverse areas on the planet.
