The equator divides it almost in the middle, so warm all year round, and summer and winter differ only because one season is wet and the other dry. Along the equator stretches of moist Equatorial forest. The trees here all year round covered with leaves, their branches so intertwined that they form a continuous roof. Tree height is 40 to 80 m, they are covered with epiphytes - plants that live on trunks and branches of trees. Among them there are beautiful blooming orchids, a variety of ferns, mosses. Up the trunks climbing the vines trying to get closer to the light. The farther from the equator, the more rare it becomes the forest. Gradually he gives way to Savannah - endless steppes, covered with tall, to 4 m grass. Among Savannah there are individual trees of acacia and giant baobabs. Their leaves fall in the dry season. The farther from the equator the grass cover becomes smaller and poorer, to replace the Savannah comes to the desert. On the Ground, not a lot of places where there is no rain.
