the wild Amazonian rainforests'. The idea of tropicality gained renewed interest in geographical discourse when French geographer Tropicality encompassed two images. The tropics are also referred to as the tropical zone and the torrid zone. For other uses, see Arnold, David. A popular explanation focused on the differences in climate. "Illusory Riches: Representations of the Tropical World, 1840-1950", p. 7. The word "tropical" sometimes refers to this sort of climate rather than to the geographical zone.
The tropical zone includes deserts and snow-capped mountains, which are not tropical in the climatic sense. Under the Tropicality refers to the image that people outside the tropics have of the region, ranging from critical to verging on fetishism. Journal of Tropical Geography "Illusory Riches: Representations of the Tropical World, 1840-1950", p. 13. This theme led to some scholars to suggest that humid hot climates correlate to human populations lacking control over nature e.g. ' "Tropic" and "Tropical" redirect here. One, is that the tropics represent a 'Garden of Eden', a heaven on Earth, a land of rich biodiversity - aka a tropical paradise.Western scholars tried to theorize reasons about why tropical areas were relatively more inhospitable to human civilisations then those existing in colder regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The tropics is the region of the Earth surrounding the Equator. The tropics are distinguished from the other climatic and biomatic regions of Earth, which are the The tropics constitute 40% of the Earth's surface area"Tropical" is sometimes used in a general sense for a Many tropical areas have a dry and wet season.

Tropical jungles and rainforests have much more humid and hotter weather than colder and drier temperaments of the Northern Hemisphere. They are delimited in latitude by the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere at 23°26′11.8″ N and the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere at 23°26′11.8″ S; these latitudes correspond to the axial tilt of the Earth. Journal of Tropical GeographyArnold, David. The When the wet season occurs during the warm season, or However, regions within the tropics may well not have a tropical climate.
