  • Close to the equator (evenaar) > low latitude (breedtegraad) 
  • There are no seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter)
  • Lots of vegetation (plantgrowth)
Veel plantengroei, dit komt door de hoeveelheid neerslag die er valt.

Veel dieren, omdat het er genoeg geregend en de temperatuur altijd hoog is.
