  1. Equatorial Latitude Zones have by far the most rainfall.  Polar Latitude Zones have the least rainfall.

    The main reason equatorial latitudes receive so much rain is the warm year-round temperatures that create warm waters which create rainfall.  Equatorial latitudes experience fast-moving weather conditions created by the warm atmosphere.

    The Polar latitude zones contain dense atmospheric pressure which creates very little precipitation and very slow- moving weather systems.
