Tropical climates have warm temperatures without frost year-round and seasonal variations in rainfall. Vegetation includes lower, spiny plants that reduce their leaves during long dry seasons. Fauna ranges from insects and rodents to large herbivores and carnivores. People live in tribes and engage in subsistence farming and livestock grazing, especially cattle, adapted to the climate. Economic activities focus on small-scale agriculture when rainfall allows and cattle ranching in drier areas.

3. Introduction: Climates Zones
COLD ZONE:
The cold climate
is at the poles
and high
mountains.
In high mountain
areas it is
usually very cold
and in the
summer it
usually goes up a
little more
WARM ZONE:
The warm
climate Are
located in
the equatorial,
tropical and
subtropical
bands of the
planet.High
annual
temperatures,
without large
seasonal
variations.
4. TEMPERATE ZONE:
Is a type of climate
characterized by annual
average temperatures of
around 15 ° C and
average rainfall between
1000 mm and 2000 mm
annually.
7. -Temperatures and precipitations
Temperatures:
Tropical climates besides having an average temperature of 18 ° C
are characterized by not suffering frost.Therefore, the terms
summer or winter have no meaning in these areas, so it is often
said that they have no winter
Precipitations:
In the tropical zone it is not very frequent that it rains, and if
it rains
It is in small quantities.

9. -Vegetation
The dry season is very prolonged appears the steppe, with
lower, spiny vegetation that hardens and reduces the size
of its leaves to adapt to the drought.

11. -Fauna
In it we find from insects and rodents to herbivores of the
size of the giraffe or elephant, carnivores, like the lion, and
scavengers, like the hyena and the vulture.
15. -Economic Activities
FARMING:
Subsistence agriculture is a mode of agriculture in which part of
the land produces only once a year enough to store food for the
family that works in it. Depending on the climate, soil
complications, manual practices, cultivars, crop growth, land tenure
status and marketing facilities, generally between 1,000 and
40,000 m2 (0.1 to 4 ha) per person is required.In some areas of
the humid tropics in South America, intensive and massive
subsistence farming may require between 15 and 20 ha / capita or
more.
16. WON:
In the savannahs of the North and South, where the rainy months are less than
five, and in the eastern highlands, agriculture has little development, so there
is a greater dedication to livestock. The animals are zebu and other bovids that
are best adapted to these climates. European animals are decimated by the
tsetse fly. This cattle ranch has few yields, and there is neither housing nor
compound feed nor breed selection. Only in South Africa, notably in South
Africa, Zimbabwe and Madagascar, is a well-performing cattle ranch, also due
to Europeans. These are bovids and rams that provide meat, skin and wool in
abundance. That is why South Africa is one of the first producers of quality
wool.
