Solution
The correct option is B Equatorial belt The equatorial belt is characterized by the prevalence of equatorial air, air masses, weakly expressed sectors on the continents, and the presence of gilea type forests on the plains of the latitudinal zone and zones of gilea and paramo vegetation in the mountains.
The climate is caused by the large influx of solar energy. The humid equatorial evergreen forests are distinguished by the different times of periodic functions of individual plants in the absence of seasonal aspects within the community as a whole, the dense tree growth, the unusual wealth and age of the species composition, the abundance of lianas and epiphytes, and the high productivity of the above ground biomass.
