Question

Which types of climates have a very low range of temperature?

Short Note

Solution

A tropical wet climate has a very low range of temperature. It is found near the equator. The major areas are the Amazon Basin in South America, western equatorial Africa, and the islands of the East Indies. A significant amount of rainfall occurs every month of the year as thundershowers in the afternoon. The temperature is uniformly high and the annual range of temperature is negligible. The maximum temperature on any day is around 30°C while the minimum temperature is around 20°C.

Tropical evergreen forests with dense canopy cover and large biodiversity are found in this climate.
