Hey!!!

Here is your answer____________

Major temperature zones are on the basis of temperature and latitude.

The distribution of insulation is not uniform on the earth because of which the heat zones exist:

(a) Torrid zone or Tropical zone it lies between the tropic of cancer (23-1/2 °N) and the tropic of Capricorn (23-1/2 °S). The rays of the sun fall vertically overhead twice a year and the temperature remains high throughout the year.

_________________

(b) Temperate zone it lies between 23-1/2° and 66-1/2° in both the hemi­spheres. Rays of the sun are slanting here. The temperature is moderate. It is neither as hot as the tropical zone nor as cold as the Frigid Zone. In theNorthern hemisphere it is known as the North Temperate Zone and in the Southern hemisphere the South Temperate Zone.

(c) Frigid Zone Between 66-1/2° and the poles lies the frigid zone. The rays of the sun are very slanting and hence the region is extremely cold throughout the year. In the Northern hemisphere, lies the North Frigid zone and in the Southern hemisphere lies the South Frigid Zone.
