The area bounded by the Tropic of Cancer, 23.5° lat N, on the north and Tropic of Capricorn, 23.5° lat S, on the south is known as the "tropics."
Technically, the area between the Tropic of Cancer (21-1/2 N latitude) and the Tropic of Capricorn (21-1/2 S latitude), characterized by the absence of a cold season. Often used to describe any area possessing what is considered to be a hot, humid climate.
the part of the Earth's surface between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn; characterized by a hot climate
An area on the Earth's surface that lies between 30º north and 30º south of the equator
The tropics is the warm, equatorial region between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
The region of Earth between latitude 23.5 degrees north--the Tropic of Cancer--southward across the equator to latitude 23.5 degrees south--the Tropic of Capricorn.
The area between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The Tropic of Cancer is 23.5o north of the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn is 23.5o south of the equator.
refers to the region of Earth from latitude 23.5. north (the Tropic of Cancer) southward across the equator to latitude 23.5. south (the Tropic of Capricorn). This region has relatively small daily and seasonal changes in temperature, but great seasonal changes in precipitation.
The area of the globe from latitudes 23.5 degrees north to 23.5 degrees south.
the very warm, humid region lying north and south of the equator; the sun's rays are strongest here
The region of the earth located between the Tropic of Cancer, at 23.5 degrees North latitude, and the Tropic of Capricorn, at 23.5 degrees South latitude. It encompasses the equatorial region, an area of high temperatures and considerable precipitiation during part of the year.
The tropics are a 3,000 mile (4800 km) wide band around the equator, between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N latitude) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° S latitude).
The tropics are the geographic region of the Earth centered on the equator and limited in latitude by the Tropic of Cancer in the northern hemisphere, at approximately 23°30' (23.5°) N latitude, and the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere at 23°30' (23.5°) S latitude. This region is also referred to as the tropical zone and the torrid zone.
