. New concepts of tropical, annual tropical, true tropical and tropical fluctuating zone are formed to understand tropical area. Based on the indexes of climate, vegetation and soil, boundaries of tropical, annual tropical, true tropical and tropical
fluctuating zone of the study area are established. The tropical fluctuating zone explains different locating of different researchers. This paper also puts forward a new method to display boundary for eco-geographic regions.

Physical geography
The Fremantle area provides safe shelter in the inner harbour or in Cockburn Sound from tropical cyclones. Large ships anchoring in Gage Roads would be more vulnerable to strong winds and seas associated with intense tropical cyclones. (JPB).

Generalizations about farming in the tropics : small landholdings, terrain modification, staggered harvests, reliance on genetic diversity, and improvement of soil fertility. - (DWG)
The goal of this study was to determine when tropical cyclones affect various sections of the US mainland. The study attempted to discern relationships between the months and areas of formation and whether any months of the year produced more
Calculations of surface radiative fluxes in the tropical Pacific show that the distributions of solar and thermal infrared radiation follow closely with cloudiness and, to a lesser extent, humidity. Surprisingly, the distribution of infrared
