    What do you know about the climate of the Amazon Basin? Which types of natural vegetation does such climate allow?

    Answer:

    The climate of the Amazon basin is the equatorial type. The sun's rays fall directly on this region, hence it receives maximum heat from the sun throughout the year. The annual precipitation averages 2,160 mm. It rains almost every day is the afternoon which is called the 4 O 'clock rain. Therefore, the level of humidity in the Amazon Basin remains high throughout the year. Also temperature in this region ranges from \[25{}^\circ C\] to \[30{}^\circ C\] which is a very small temperature range. This type of climate fosters the growth of equatorial rainforests which are biomes with the most diverse vegetation and wildlife.
