Question

Give a geographical reason:

There is no concept of the season in equatorial regions.

Answer 1

There is no concept of the season in equatorial regions because -

1. The equatorial region lies between 0° to 10° latitudes in both the hemispheres.
2. The sun is exactly overhead in the equatorial regions throughout the year giving maximum insolation.
3. Thus, constant high temperatures are experienced throughout the year, which gives rise to heavy convectional precipitation.
4. Days and nights are almost of equal length and thus, the concept of summer and winter as being hot and cold seasons do not exist in these parts.
