Ekvaatorilähedased

Ekvaatorilähedased refers to regions of the Earth located near the Equator. These areas typically experience a consistently warm climate with high temperatures and humidity throughout the year. Rainfall patterns in ekvaatorilähedased regions often include heavy downpours, contributing to lush vegetation and dense forests, such as rainforests. The sun's rays are most direct in these zones, leading to a lack of distinct seasons as commonly found in temperate latitudes.

The term "ekvaatorilähedased" is Estonian and directly translates to "near the equator." The geographical band around the Equator is characterized by its unique biodiversity, with a vast array of plant and animal life adapted to these specific environmental conditions. These regions play a crucial role in global climate systems and are home to a significant portion of the world's population. Understanding the characteristics of ekvaatorilähedased areas is important for studying climate change, ecology, and human geography. The consistent sunlight also influences phenomena like ocean currents and atmospheric circulation patterns globally.
