Too much rain in the Equatorial countries . Why ?

Question

Folks , I always wondering : why too much rain in the Equatorial countries . I , really , want to know ! thanks.

Answer 1

The equatorial belt is a low pressure area.The tropical airmasses from both the hemisphere are brought by the trade winds and they meet here which results in the formation of what is called 'Inter-tropical Convergenge Zone'.These airmasses are warm and humid( In the equatorial regions,the absolute humidity is constantly higher owing to the high temperature coupled with abundant moisture) and have favourable lapse rates upto great heights.Therefore convection starts on a large scale leading to large cloud formations resulting in heavy rains during most part of the year.

In short,in the equatorial countries,the air is always hot and moist giving high temperature and humidity leading to large cloud formations and heavy rainfall(Average 250 cm per year).

Answer 2

Equatorial regions are rainy because the sun's rays directly hit that latitude year round. This creates constant low pressure, where the hot air rises, cools and condenses into rain.

Answer 3

well its moist and its hot and warm to make many clouds and usual tropical storms and into hurricanes. And its always hot near the Equator and moist like the Amazon Rain forest, the Philippine islands, and the middle east. And the sun's rays reach it the fastest and in Direct contact to make warm, and make clouds to rain. Hope it answers.

Answer 4

Forests like rain forests are more near equator. Too much rain is due to the lush green vegetation.
