Introduction.

Geography is a systematic study of the Universe and its

features. Traditionally, geography has been associated with

cartography and place names. ... Because space and place affect

a variety of topics, such as economics, health, climate, plants

and animals, geography is highly interdisciplinary.

Equatorial Region.

Location- The equatorial region is located between 5° and

10° latitude on either side of the equator. It stretches in

the Amazon lowlands in South America, Congo basin in Africa

and the East Indies, from Sumatra to New Guinea. Being

located near the equator, it is characterized by high sunshine

throughout the year.

Area- Equatorial regions are located in a band around the

Equator and cover about 6% of the Earth's surface. Tropical

rainforests grow in the equatorial regions. ... The Amazon

Rainforest covers an area of 5,500,000km2 in: Brazil, Peru,

Columbia, Venezuela, Equador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and

French Guiana.

Climate- The Equatorial Climate is characterised by hot

average temperature all year round and high monthly

precipitation, typically no less than 60 mm a month with annual

precipitation tending to be over 2000mm. The diurnal

temperature range is greater than the annual temperature

range.

Natural Vegetation- The equatorial vegetation comprises a

multitude of evergreen trees that yield tropical hardwood, e.g.

mahogany, ebony, greenheart, cabinet woods and dyewoods. ...

Under the trees grow a wide variety of ferns, orchids and

lalang.

Human Adaption-In equatorial areas it is blissful. You can

wear the minimal clothing, keeping upper torso and lower limbs

(legs) exposed as far as possible. Women can only cover their

torsos with loose fitting cottons. If it is a dry, desert climates

one needs to cover the skull portion.

Tropical Grasslands.

Location- The African savannas are probably the most well-

known, but tropical grasslands can also be found in South

America, India, and Australia. There are llanos in Colombia

and Venezuela, Campos in the Brazilian highlands, Pantanals in

Upper Paraguay, plains in Australia, and India's Deccan Plateau.

Area- Tropical grasslands include the hot savannas of sub-

Saharan Africa and northern Australia. Rainfall can vary

across grasslands from season to season and year to year,

ranging from 25.4 too 101.6 centimeters (10 to 40 inches)

annually.

Climate- Tropical grasslands have dry and wet seasons that

remain warm all the time. Temperate grasslands have cold

winters and warm summers with some rain. ... A few trees may

be found in this biome along the streams, but not many due to

the lack of rainfall.

Natural Vegetation- Tropical grasslands, or savannas, are

also the homes of primates in Africa and Asia; no savanna-living

primates exist in South America. Tropical grasslands comprise

a mixture of trees and grasses, the proportion of trees to

grass varying directly with the rainfall.

Human adaption- Humans impact the Grassland Savanna by

lessening the area of the land by making new space for

industrialization. The trees and animals have less space to be so

the population decreases with the land, making everything

smaller. ... Also humans being in the grasslands increase the

chance of fires.

Tropical Deserts.

Location-Most hot deserts are found near the Tropics of

Cancer and Capricorn, between 15-30° north and south of the

Equator. The largest hot desert is the Sahara in Africa which

spans the whole width of the continent.

Area- Tropical deserts are located in regions between 5 and

30 degrees latitude. Tropical deserts are located in both

continental interiors and coastal areas between the Tropic of

Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn.

Climate- The tropical desert is an environment of extremes:

it is the driest and hottest place on earth. Rainfall is sporadic

and in some years no measurable precipitation falls at all. The

terribly dry conditions of the deserts are due to the year-round

influence of subtropical high pressure and continentality.

Natural Vegetation- Flora. Representative desert plants

include the barrel cactus, brittlebush, chain fruit cholla,

creosote. Additionally, it is also common to see crimson

hedgehog, cactus, common saltbush and desert ironwood, fairy

duster, Joshua tree.

Human Adaption- In the Sahara, people adapted by their

clothing, shelter, and activities. During the midday sun people

generally stay sheltered and have an early afternoon rest or nap

they don't sit around in the sun and if they go out in the day

they cover up with loose clothes to keep themselves shaded

cool.

Mediterranean Region.

Location- This biogeographical region includes the

Mediterranean Sea and seven Member States, either partially

(France, Portugal, Italy, Spain) or completely (Greece, Malta,

Cyprus). It has specific regional features: a climate of hot dry

summers and humid, cool winters and a generally hilly landscape

Area- The Mediterranean Sea covers an area of about

2,500,000 km2 (970,000 sq mi),[2] representing 0.7% of the

global ocean surface, but its connection to the Atlantic via

the Strait of Gibraltar—the narrow strait that connects the

Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and

separates Spain in Europe from Morocco in Africa—is only

14 km (9 mi) wide.

Climate- The Mediterranean Sea covers an area of about

2,500,000 km2 (970,000 sq mi),[2] representing 0.7% of the

global ocean surface, but its connection to the Atlantic via

the Strait of Gibraltar—the narrow strait that connects the

Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and

separates Spain in Europe from Morocco in Africa—is only

14 km (9 mi) wide.

Natural Vegetation- Mediterranean vegetation, any

scrubby, dense vegetation composed of broad-leaved

evergreen shrubs, bushes, and small trees usually less than

2.5 m (about 8 feet) tall and growing in regions lying between

30° and 40° north and south latitudes.

Human Adaption- The population of the Mediterranean

countries is about 450 million. The population pressure is

increasing because of tourism. The mild climate and the natural

and cultural heritage attract about one third of world

international tourism, during the summer concentrated along

the coastline.

Conclusion

it was a wonderful and learning experience for me while working

on this project. This project took me through the various phase

of project development and gave me a real insight into the The

natural region of the world. The joy of work and the thrill

involved while lacking the various problems and challenges give

me a feel of developers industry.

I enjoyed each and every bit of work I had put into this

project.
