Which are closer to the equator the nomads of the sahara or coffee growers of colombia

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is coffee growers in Colombia

Explanation:

Besides having close latitudes, the Colombian territory is crossed by the Equator Line in its southern portion. And in this part of that country is localized most of coffee production, although it’s cultivated in 19 of its administrative regions.  

Coffee farmers have chosen the Mountain Rage Region to produce their crops. As the final part of the Andes Mountain Rage (one of the highest and largest in the world), the Colombian Mountains have the perfect climate to produce coffee. These seeds don’t stand high temperatures, but because of the mountains high (up to 6,000 feet, or 2,000 meters), the weather tends to be constant the whole year. Temperatures don’t rise too much, and get a bit cooler in the night. And also there’s abundant rain the whole year.  

For example, if you go to Bogota, the capital situated next to the geographical center of Colombia, you will face 65 Fahrenheit (19 Celsus) in the day-time, and around 46 Fahrenheit (8 Celsus) in the night, with a rain shower at the beginning of the evening. That forecast is almost the same the whole year. But if you're on the coast at the same latitude in Colombia, you’ll have around 86 Fahrenheit (30 Celsus) and warm nights.  

The Colombian Coffee is awarded as the best one in the world for many years. It’s qualify because of its flavor, smell, and visual aspects.  

Sahara is situated in a higher latitude than Colombia. It’s greatest portion is located after the 15th parallel, having the Tropic of Capricorn crossing its geographical middle.
