a) Frigid Zone b) Temparate Zone c) Torrid/Tropical Zone

Answer 1

A) The polar regions, also called the frigid zones, of Earth are the regions of the planet that surround its geographical poles (the North and South Poles), lying within the polar circles. These high latitudes are dominated by floating sea ice covering much of the Arctic ocean in the north, and by the Antarctic ice sheet on the continent of Antarctica in the South.

B) The area or region between the Tropic of Cancer and the arctic circle or between the Tropic of Capricorn and the antarctic circle

C) the part of the Earth's surface between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn; characterized by a hot climate. synonyms: Torrid Zone, tropics. example of: climatic zone. any of the geographical zones loosely divided according to prevailing climate and latitude.

Answer 2

Answer:

i)Tropical zone or the Torrid zone. It lies between the tropic of cancer and the tropic of capricorn. It receives maximum heat because of the direct midday sun overhead.

ii) Temperate zone. This region receives moderate climate because the angle of the overhead sun’s rays have decreased between the tropic of cancer and the arctic circle in the north (north temperate), and the tropic of capricorn and the antarctic circle in the south  

(south temperate).

iii) Frigid zone. The region between the arctic circle and the north pole in the north and the antarctic circle and the south pole in the south is called the Frigid zone. It is extremely cold because the sun does not rise much above the horizon as its rays are always slanting.
