The equator


 

The invisible barrier that divides the world's equator is emphasised: It is passing through various lands and seas, touching places on the map such as Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, regions of the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Somalia, Indonesia, Maldives and Kiribati. These are the most tropical places in the world, as the Andes mountain range is found on the Equator, and this includes the highest volcano Cotopaxi plus many islands full of beautiful fantasy world like flora and fauna. There is also the Brazilian rainforest and the vast complex Amazon river. The biodiverse country of Colombia has the most amazing heavily rich bird populations in the world. More massive rainforests and rich minerals are found in the equator including the Congo, but Uganda "the Pearl of Africa" has an extremely complex natural water system with it's incredible wildlife, and highest hill living mammals such as gorillas. It has fertile soil, savannah, with tons of large animals including lions and elephants. Also in the equator are massive landscapes, such as the enormous desert lake in Kenya, which is not drinkable as it's heavily salted. Somalia is called "Land of the Moon" as it's full of gold and gemstones. Indonesia has many islands with chains of active volcanoes. 

These equator countries are paradise with endless summers, but they experience hot and rain. Despite the sheer magic and beauty of these equator lands, people living in them include some of the poorest in the world. People living on the equator seen to suffer ill health from mainly tropical diseases, while plants and wild animals thrive. One of the problems people from the equator have to face is RA (Rheumatoid arthritis), which has occurred in the young. Other problems such as asthma tend to happen to more people living on the equator. However, it's not always so because various isolated tribes and traditional communities living in the tropical equator regions are in harmony with nature, untouched by modern interferences. People from the Amazon rainforest have healthy hearts thanks to their diet of high fibre and carbs. 

Other lines on the world include the Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle. It is suggested that the Equator line is actually Jormungandr "The World Serpent" from Norse mythology.
