• La zone intertropicale forme un milieu climatique avec une chaleur constante et, en dehors d'une bande équatoriale toujours pluvieuse, avec un rythme annuel de précipitations qui diminue au fur et à mesure que l'on se rapproche des tropiques, sauf dans l'Asie des moussons.

  température - La température terrestre Une forte humidité. Si le climat tropical est caractérisé par la chaleur, il l'est également par l'humidité. Celle-ci résulte des températures élevées, puisque seul l'air chaud est physiquement capable de contenir beaucoup de vapeur d'eau, avant que celle-ci ne se condense. Il pleut en effet d'autant plus que l'air est chargé de vapeur d'eau et que des mouvements d'ascendance de cet air humide se développent, provoquant la condensation et la formation des...

  particulars, unlike a substance, has no reality or meaning independent of the elements it orders, and these elements have meaning only in terms of the positions they each occupy in the series.
