Heat zones of earth: A heat zone map divides a geographical area into several regions based on severity of heat in summer season.
Types of heat zones of earth: (1) North Frigid Zone: between the Arctic Circle 66.5 degrees north and the North Pole 90 degrees north.
(2) North Temperate Zone, between the Tropic of Cancer 23.5 degrees north and the Arctic Circle 66.5 degrees north.
(3) Torrid Zone, between the Tropic of Cancer 23.5 degrees north and the Tropic of Capricorn 23.5 degrees south.
(4) South Temperate Zone, between the Tropic of Capricorn 23.5 degrees south and the Antarctic Circle 66.5 degrees south.
(5) South Frigid Zone, from Antarctic Circle 66.5 degrees south and the South Pole 90 degrees south.
Broadly there are three heat zones, viz., Torrid zone, temperate zone and frigid zone.
