Heat Zones of the Earth :-
The Earth is divided into three Heat Zones. The Frigid Zone, The Temperate Zone and The Torrid Zone. These are as follows.
1) The Frigid Zone :- It is divided into two sub-zones.
a) The North Frigid Zone :
It lies between the Arctic Circle 66.5 degrees North and the North Pole 90 degrees North. It covers 4.12 % of the Earth's surface.
b) The South Frigid Zone :
It lies between the Antarctic Circle 66.5 degrees South and the South Pole 90 degrees South. It covers 4.12 % of Earth's surface.
2) The Temperate Zone : It is also divided into two sub-zones.
a) The North Temperate Zone :
It lies between the Tropic of Cancer 23.5 degrees North and the Arctic Circle 66.5 degrees North. It covers 25.99 % of Earth's surface.
b) The South Temperate Zone :
It lies between the Tropic of Capricorn 23.5 degrees South and the Antarctic Circle 66.5 degrees South. It covers 25.99 % of Earth's surface.
3) The Torrid Zone :
It lies between the Tropic of Cancer 23.5 degrees North and the Tropic of Capricorn 23.5 degrees South. It covers 39.78 % of Earth's surface.

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.
