Class 6 explain about the heat zones in the earth
Answers
Torrid Zone- The Hottest Heat Zone
This region is the hottest one among the zones of the earth. Torrid zone is from north Tropic of Cancer (23.5º) to south Tropic of Capricorn (23.5º) across the equator. This region is uninhabitable due to the high temperature. However, the great civilizations were developed in that region.
Frigid Zone- The Coldest Heat Zone
This zone is permanently frozen zone among the three zones. It lies to north and south Arctic Circle (66.5º) and Antarctic Circle (66.5º) respectively. In this area there is no sun light for most of the months. However, it is very cold so many people are living in this region.
Temperature Zone- The Habitable Heat Zone
This zone is suitable for the human civilization to grow. There are two Temperate Zones in the Earth. These two are lies between Tropics of Arctic and Antarctic Circles. In this region, the temperature is moderate. Because of this tolerable temperature this is the convenient place on earth to live
The following are the different heat zones in the earth:
1. Torrid zone, 2. Temperate Zone, 3. Frigid Zone.
1. Torrid zone: This area lies between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. This region gets vertical rays of the sun throughout the year, which made this zone as the most heat taking zone on the earth.
2. Temperate Zone: This region extends between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Circle in the southern hemisphere and in the Northern Hemisphere it stretches from Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Circle. This region undergoes moderate heat as this zone receives slanting rays of the sun.
3. Frigid Zone: This zone occupies between the Antarctic Circle and the South Pole and between the Arctic Circle and the North Pole. Since this region receives extreme slanting Sun rays, it is known as the Polar region. In this region, the temperature is extremely low.
