The north is mostly mountainous and hilly with a monsoon climate featuring distinct wet and dry seasons and higher rainfall than the south. Southern Vietnam has more coastal plains, deltas, and lowlands with a tropical climate and generally higher rainfall than the north. Both regions experience seasonal temperature variations but the south remains warmer year-round. The soils and natural vegetation also differ, with the north having more coniferous forests and the south dominated by mangroves, tropical rainforests, and agriculture including rice farming and aquaculture.
