However, it's important to note that other biomes can also be found along the equator, depending on specific factors like elevation and rainfall patterns. These could include:
* Tropical savanna: Regions with a distinct wet and dry season.
* Tropical seasonal forest: Forests with a dry season that can lead to leaf loss.
* Mangrove forests: Found along coastlines and estuaries.
The tropical rainforest is the dominant biome due to the consistent, high temperatures and abundant rainfall characteristic of the equator.
