The above answer is slightly incorrect. The island of Borneo is split between 3 countries. \n\nMost of the island is part of Indonesia - the provinces of East, West and Central Kalminatan, most of the north is part of Malaysia (the provinces of Sarawak and Sabah), and a small portion in the North East is the Kingdom of Brunei. \n\nThe equator runs through the Indonesian portion of the island. \n\nHave a look at this map link below:\n\nhttp://local.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=1.845384~114.213867&style=r&lvl=5&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000\n\nThe white line you see is the equator.

The topic is very vast. You could try this strategy: select major countries along the Equator, like Brazil, Equador, African countries, etc. and find information on these countries: agriculture, people, etc. This will help you find all the information you need. \n\nTry also these links, if you want:\n\nClimate and vegetation : http://www.scalloway.org.uk/clim9.htm \nhttp://www.meteorologyclimate.com/Equatorial-climate.htm\n\nDisasters: http://www.unescap.org/mced2000/pacific/background/disasters.htm\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equator

Actually it has really a basis,cause as what the Muslims ancestors in the southern Mindanao,Sabah Malaysia is a part of the philippines teritory before infact the Malaysian people are just renting it but i dont know now if why is it Sabah was officially part of Malaysia teritory. But the Kalayaan group of island is an official part of the Philippines area of responsibility.

It is called a rain forest because at the end of the day you will find that it will always rain. The sun heats the earth and warms the air above it. As it rises it cools and forms clouds. By the time this has happened it is the end of the day and it starts to pour down. The sun only heats the earth to a temperature high enough near the equator because that part is nearest the sun. You won't find this happening anywhere else except the equator and so you don't find tropical rainforests anywhere esle.

Not sure about a hybrid, but I know that spider monkeys live in the rain forest.

This is a common feature for persons born and broughtup in cold climate. People in Equatorial regions tolerate heat more for the same reason. There may be slight variation amongst individuals in tolerance to climatic issues. Nothing to worry.

No. It depends on weather patterns and distance from the equator. For instance, the snow line on a mountain in Brazil could be non-existant, while a mountian the same height in Alaska could have its snowline at only a few thousand feet.

A promising anti-cancer substance has been found in a Borneo shrub by researchers for an Australian pharmaceutical firm, while a chemical found in latex produced by a tree appears to be effective against the replication of HIV.\n422 new plant species had been discovered in Borneo - shared by Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei - in the last 25 years and many others were believed to be there which could have medicinal applications.\nBut all these promising discoveries could eventually be lost if the disappearing rainforests of the heart of Borneo are not adequately protected.\nMore forest destruction could well deny science the opportunity to discover and develop further potential sources of life-saving medication.

By that logic, outer space should be a regular tropical paradise.  It has to do with the heat capacity of air.  The atmosphere is thinner the farther you get from the Earth's core, and less air can hold less total heat.  Also, I think the first post about the Earth's radiant heat is probably another factor.

it has maritime climate coz its an island - so not too hot or too cold. but being situated near the equator could also give i ta tropical climate
