Draw and label the climate zone in the world
Answers
The temperature and the amount of rainfall determine the climate of a place. The whole world is divided into climatic regions or heat zones according to the type of dimate they have. The three main climatic zones are Torrid, Temperate and Frigid zones.
☆ Torrid Zone ☆
The region between the two tropics, the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, is known as the Torrid Zone. This region receives direct sun rays making it hot almost throughout the year. The rainfall in some places here is very heavy. Thus they have a hot and wet climate. This region is also called the Tropical Zone.
☆ Temperate Zone ☆
The regions between the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Circle, and between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Circle form the Temperate Zone. These regions receive slanting rays of the sun and hence the climate is neither too hot nor too cold. They have cold winters and mild summers.
☆ Frigid Zone ☆
The regions around the poles are known as Frigid Zones. They lie between the Arctic Circle and the North Pole, and between the Antarctic Circle and the South Pole. They are very far away from the equator and receive absolutely slanting rays of the sun. During most months in a year, the Frigid Zones do not receive the sun's rays at all. That is why they are covered with thick sheets of ice most of the year. The climate here is extremely cold throughout the year.
