Tropical regions are areas of the Earth located near the equator, typically between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. These regions are characterized by warm temperatures year-round, with minimal seasonal variation. They often experience high levels of rainfall, leading to lush vegetation and diverse ecosystems, including rainforests and savannas. The climate in tropical regions supports a wide variety of plant and animal life. Common features include tropical rainforests, which are home to countless species, and monsoon climates, which bring seasonal rains. These regions are vital for global biodiversity and play a significant role in regulating the Earth's climate.
