AI Thread Summary
Regions along the equator experience primarily two seasons: a wet season and a dry season, rather than distinct seasonal changes like those found in temperate zones. Within a latitude of 10° (5° North and 5° South of the Equator), there is generally consistent rainfall and average temperatures around 25°C. However, exceptions exist, particularly in East Africa, where countries like Tanzania and Kenya experience variations due to altitude and air current dynamics.

Are there any seasons in regions along the equator ?

I actually think there are 2 seasons. A wet season and a dry season.
 
I think no distinct dry reason along the intertropical convergence zone
 
There are general rules & exceptions:
GENERAL RULE:
Along a slice of 10° latitude (5° North & 5°South of the Equator) there's only one season with rains almost every day and temps.on average ~25°C

EXCEPTION:
East Africa:Tanzania & Kenia.Due to altitude and currents of air dinamics.

Thread 'Could an external cosmic body have influenced Earth’s geology?'

Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...

Thread 'Landslide, tsunami, seiche in Tracy Arm fjord, Alaska - 10 August 2025'

On August 10, 2025, there was a massive landslide on the eastern side of Tracy Arm fjord. Although some sources mention 1000 ft tsunami, that height represents the run-up on the sides of the fjord. Technically it was a seiche.
