Answer to Question 1
Three climates are designated tropical, with their defining characteristic being consistent warm to hot temperatures; every month has an average temperature of 18C (64F) or higher. All three tropical climates are found in the Amazon basin of South America, in the following sequence poleward from the equator. The tropical rainforest climate is hot, humid, and rainy year-round, with little seasonal variation in temperature or precipitation. The tropical monsoon climate has a short dry season, when the otherwise heavy rains taper off for one or more months. The tropical savanna climate (also called the tropical wet-dry climate) has marked wet and dry seasons, typically lasting roughly half the year. The savanna's extended dry season results in lower annual precipitation amounts than the other tropical climates.
