Question

The major countries which experience the equatorial climate in Asia are ………………. , ………………, and ……………………………..

Answer 1

Hint: The equator is a parallel of latitude 0 degree. The hot sun rays fall directly on the region around the equator. This as a result is responsible for the humid climatic conditions. The changes in temperature are approximately negligible.

Complete step by step answer:
Among all the continents of the Earth, Asia is the largest and the populous of all. The situation of the Earth is primarily in the North hemisphere and East hemisphere. The total number of countries into which the Asian continent is divided is forty-nine (49) including the five transcontinental countries. Although they are a part of the same continent, all these countries experience diverse sets of climatic conditions owing to their geographical locations. The different set of climates ranges from tropical in the part of Southeast Asia to the Arctic or subarctic climates in the Siberian Region. The climate at the equator has characteristics of being average temperature on the hotter side, high rainfall. Thus the climate of the region is a hot and wet equatorial one.
The equator passes through around eleven countries of the entire globe.
Indonesia contains the equatorial line to the greatest length. The two other countries that lie in close proximity to the Equator are Malaysia and Sri Lanka. Their positions are mainly within the range of five to ten degrees of latitude. Because of the position near to the equator, these three countries primarily experience the equatorial type of climate in Asia.
Hence, major countries that experience the equatorial climate in Asia are Indonesia, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka.

Note: Climate is a function of the location of a place which in turn is determined by the latitude, the longitude of Earth. Temperature and Precipitation are the two key determinants of the climatic regions of a certain place.
