When the sun is eclipsed to us, the moon's inhabitants on the side next to the earth – if any such there be – see her shadow like a dark spot traveling over the earth, about twice as fast as its equatorial parts move, and the same way as they move.

Lake Nyos was a very similar geological anomaly, a lake in the equatorial tropics that sat above a volcanically active area, with a lower, cold, and heavier stagnant layer that had been quietly building up in CO2 concentration through underwater springs for potentially centuries, and a higher, warmer, and lighter layer of water than acted as the cork on the bottle.

Globally speaking, the equatorial effect of rising and sinking air dictates where rainfall usually occurs or doesn't.

in Equatorial Africa.

North Atlantic, it's framed by the Gulf Stream, the Canary Current, the North Atlantic Current, and the Equatorial Current. Number eight. There's a hidden forest in China growing inside a massive sinkhole. The Zhaozhai Tiankeng in China isn't just the largest sinkhole on Earth. It's a world of its own. Over 2,000 feet wide and more than 2,170 feet deep, this massive crater is home to a lush, hidden forest teeming with rare plants and animals found nowhere else. Number nine.

The bright equatorial zone stands out prominently in these images, its high-altitude hazes scattering light and creating a striking contrast.

But the movie is set in equatorial Africa, where a crescent moon is oriented more like a cup.

People from equatorial regions usually have darker hair and skin to better protect them from the sun's radiation.
