Differentiate between:
Equatorial Rainforests and Savannah Climatic
Call
| Equatorial Rainforests | Savannah Climatic Regions | |
| Latitudinal extent | It lies between 0° to 10° latitudes in both the hemispheres. | It lies between 10° to 20° latitudes N and S. |
| Temperature | As it lies near the equators sun rays are perpendicular and hence temperature is constantly high with average temperature around 27°C. | Distinct wet summers and dry winters with summer temperatures around 35°C and winter temperature around 24°C. |
| Rainfall | Heavy convectional rainfall of 2500 mm to 3000 mm is evenly distributed over the year. | In this region average rainfall of 250 mm to 1000 mm is expected. |
| Vegetation | Evergreen trees with dense three layered vegetation are found in rainforests. | Tall thick grass (Elephant grass) with scattered droughtresistant trees are found in this region. |
| Animals | Climbing and jumping animals, reptiles, etc., are found in this region. | Grazing of animals is common. Herbivorous, carnivorous and scavengers are found in this region. |
| Regions of the world | This type of climate is found in the Amazon basin, Congo basin, east coast of Central America, Madagascar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Papua New Guinea. | This type of climate is found in India in peninsular plateau and rain-shadow zone in Maharashtra, Telangana and Karnataka; parts of Mizoram.
